[QUOTE="Wiley, post: 5873608, member: 15835"] I had my RCBS 505 beam scale out the other day and one thing about it that has always bothered me is how light it is. It's plenty accurate but seems cheaply made. SO, I went-a-lookin for a vintage Ohaus 1010 and found one on eBay. All original, in the original box with the original instruction manual and the dust cover and absolutely perfect condition. USPS ( I KNOW! 😵💫 ) delivered it today and it's definitely a keeper. Light years ahead of the 505. It's heavy for its size and everything about it just makes a bold, old school quality statement. I checked it with a known weight calibration weight and it zeros fast and repeatedly returns to zero or to the known weight setting. Now to find a gap in busy crap so I can do some loading. [/QUOTE]
