RCBS 1010 Powder Scale

Ole Joe Clark · Apr 17, 2016

I purchased a used 1010 scale at a really good price, but..... the adjustment decal that says "tenths" on the right end of the beam is missing.

Has anyone ever requested/received a replacement decal from RCBS and installed it? It looks simple to do, even for an ole shaky guy like me.

Thanks,

Leon

Instead of asking if anyone has done this why don't you just call RCBS in the morning and ask them if they can provide the index sticker? 800-379-1732

If this is the scale I'm thinking of with the circular adjustment - they were made by Ohaus & haven't been produced in a number of years i.e about 30 or so. Not something you'll find every day.

Already have a email sent to them, never hurts to double up on some things.

Yes it is the one with the circular adjustment. RCBS discontinued them in 2014, there are still a few new ones in stock at some of the larger reloading suppliers.

Been using one for over 30 years, great scale. Did yours come with the plastic cover?

Make sure you check the calibration with good check weights. It's a good idea to check every scale on occasion with calibrated weights.

No, no cover unfortunately.

I have a set of weights, and it looks to be right on. There are very few signs of wear.

That plastic cover is a design disaster- cant use it unless you remove the beam & pan - putting more wear and possible damage to the knife edge. Then you have to go thru contortions to store it and put it back together. Only good if you are storing for extended period.

If not available from RCBS then there are lots of decal-sticker makers probably local and on-line. Give them the measurements, colors, and text and I bet they can recreate one.

Several years ago the decal you speak of.....Disappeared on mine too.....I boxed it and sent to RCBS.....They sent me a new scale......Just sayin.

I have an old Redding scale with the same issue; my own fault. I bought it used and it was pretty cruddy. I was cleaning it up with something that didn't agree with the calibration label and some of it is now unreadable. Would love to have a "fix" for this to have it as a backup to my Lyman.

Ole Joe Clark · Apr 19, 2016

RCBS came through. I received an email today. The "tenths" label is on the way, along with re-calibration instructions.

Can't beat that.

RCBS has to have one of, if not the best CS departments in the world.

True, they are sending me a cover as well.

Have a blessed evening.
