RCBS 10-10 scale tuning?

[long40shot]

Hello folks,

Is there anyone who works on the old RCBS 10-10 balance beam scales? Looking to have mine tuned up.

Thanks,
Matt

Yes there is. Scott Parker who is a member of the forum. Bill

I hear he is good. I did a search and found many post stating this, plus Scott's contact information.

Yes there is, Scott Parker. He is a grue with scales. I just purchased one he tuned up and it is the first time I have had total confidence in my scale. I no longer get a lot of extra bounching when I add powder and the beam moves with one grain of powder. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with his work. He does not work on all RCBS scales because many cannot be tuned correctly but he can tune a 10-10. He lives somewhere in the Bakersfield area and works at another job but here is his phone number. 661-364-1199. I have only been able to reach him once when I called but just leave a message and he is very good at getting back to you.

Good luck.

Parallel universes, or just parallel threads?

All will be revealed.

Maybe there is much to be said for a faster stabilizing beam scale?

I dunno, but what I DO KNOW is that unless you are using a Checkweight Set your scale values might not be all you need them to be...

Loading for precision?
Loading a maximum charge?
Why not Be Sure?

Set your scale's zero with checkweight sum as close to your load as you can make it.
Then you KNOW For Sure...

All sorts of variables can affect even a "tuned" scale.
Got a hardened surface your scale sets on that is always level and consistent?
Not many do. Use a pane of glass or piece of plate to set your scale upon?
Check your balance with known values down to .1gr and Be Sure...

When Scott tunes them he includes a check weight and he is a stand up guy all the way.

Is there a static charge building up? (Hold your finger near the pan; can you levitate it without even touching it?)
Are there any air currents around your bench? (HVAC vents or windows open, fans running, heavy breathing?)
