I'll throw my vote in for an older Fairbanks farm scale if you can find one. You balance the beam yourself, but I wouldn't give ours up for anything.
A Fairbanks won't be easy to ship, but there should be some in your area. If not, I'd go with a Pelouze like ChildhoodDream recommended. I have one at the office, and it's spot on. The Fairbanks has a larger platform than my Pelouze does, though.
