We always just hung a nickel off of it, worked great. Kinda, not really hahahahaI actually kept one of those balance scales because an older head back in KC I sold to didn't trust digital scales.
I tried to explain to her it's way easier to just slightly bend a thin metal arm to read wrong then mis-calibrate a digital scale in a way that isn't obviously off (it'll get more and nore off as weight is added). But she never bought that, and would only buy if I weighed it mechanically lol. They used to be made with more precision, but all of em today are cheap china MuMetal. None are accurate, but she still made me use it anyway![]()
