Default can anyone tell me what this thing is really really used for?

I still have one of the old spark style dynamic units someplace buried in
the shop. Haven't used it in years though. Not sure if it even works any
more.

Oh and ED I misread your post. Sorry.
However it is possible to balance a tire statically and eliminate any
tire wobble.


No, it is not. A bubble balancer can only tell where a wheel is heavy/light
across the diameter, it treats the wheel like a two-dimensional disk.
A dynamic balancer treats the wheel like a cylinder and can find the
heavy/light areas in three dimensions.
