I've had my Hornaday GS-1500 digital scale for years , no issues. Now it's acting up-needs replacement. Suggestions for a good quality, affordable digital scale would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and expertise.

All of my reloading equipment dates from the 1960s to 1980s, nothing digital, no batteries required, all manually operated. Everything keeps working just fine.
My scale is the Ohaus 10-10, purchased slightly used in original box with paperwork in about 1973 for about $25 as I recall. Truly a laboratory-grade instrument.
My powder measure is a Lachmiller, purchased about 1974 at a close-out sale 50% off retail price (my cost about $24 OTD).
All of my presses are single-stage RCBS and Lyman. Bought the first one used in 1973, still in use today. One of the others came in a box of reloading equipment from an estate sale, the other was given to me by a neighbor.
Only things that ever wore out or broke were a decapping punch (Lee) and a seating stem (RCBS), both replaced for free by the manufacturers.

There is no reason to pay the extra money for a big name scale like that. They are all made in China. Just find a similar one on Amazon or some place
I have one the Frankfords for quick checking But use my Dillon (RCBS) beam scale for more accurate weights
Frankford Arsenal DS-750 Electronic Powder Scale 750 Grain Capacity
Amazon link. I do not know why it says this??
