I don't have to worry about the power going out any more because I moved. I still use mechanical tools to do everything but tumble. I have always had a generator and when the power was out I dragged it around so the neighbors could keep their freezers frozen. (that's just what neighbors do)
I trust my balance beam scales and I can calibrate them and check the calibration against my lab scale that gets professionally calibrated every year. The point I was making was that I find it hard to trust the electronic scales since the few that I have tried didn't work out well. That was a few years ago and the more expensive scales are probably adequate but, like I said, "maybe I'm old fashioned or a bit nostalgic..."
I am not going to tell you not to use your electronic scale - just that I prefer my beam scales.
