I don't believe Adam sells the scale? At least I didn't see it on his web site.
Are the Area 419 accessories for the FX120i & AutoTrickler/Throw needed?

Correct. So you can't get the complete package from him, which may be what you are after. I purchased everything as separate components. Brownells still has the scales in stock.
I have had my FXi 120 & Auto Triickler / Auto Throw for about a year now. When I first received it I was kind of disappointed with all the 3D plastic..The bending of the straw, the cheap cup, having to put spacers under the trickler, the flimsy top on the scale, the small capacity of the powder hopper just kind of bothered me. I managed to get everything working half way decent, but I would still get some powder grains on the scale. With the all the 419 assecories installed it virtually eliminated any powder spillage, plus I didn’t have to worry about centering the powder cup. Being right handed I have mine set up to load from the right side which is easier for me. It also allowed me to keep the plastic wind screens on three sides which really adds to the stability of the scale. I am not going to lie I do like the “bling”. I definitely think the 419 assecories are worth it. Ray
That’s what this entire thread is about. Read away. Determine for yourself if the upgrades are worth it.

I have the powder cup and the base that centers the cup on the scale. To me these 2 items were a must. No powder spillage at all. No worries if cup is centered under the straw. Other than that I am stock and it works great.
The belt is grooved and the same with the wheel on the throw arm.
Yes I understand about the groves. Have you ever had your powder thrower, using by hand, ever stop you dead cold in the middle of a throw? I've used two different brands (RCBS and REDDING) of powder throwers over the years and both will stop your hand throw if a powder crunch happens. Hopefully I am explaining this correctly?
Yes, I know what your talking about. I get it a lot on rcbs powder drop all the time. I have not had one yet on the auto thrower, and it might be due to the plastic parts and not as machined as the metal ones.
Ok, I wasn't sure if there was a difference in the design of the hopper or the hole that receives and measures the powder or what.
The hopper is a lee model

Mostly plastic, no metal inside like redding or rcbs.
Here is a few pics, the light trying shoot down the drop is hard to get.
Thank you very much for the pics. Maybe because the metering adjustment is on an angle that helps with an easier throw? not sure, but thanks angin.
