I use 2 of them exclusively, they are" Dead Nuts" with each other. I throw powder into the pan then tap the Little Dandy a few times. I face the scale away from me and aim a webcam running through a laptop at the pointer. It goes quicker than you might think it would....But I'm in no rush.

I have an ohaus 1010. Will he tune my scale and if so, what's the price?

I believe he is not a fan of the 10-10. There are better candidates out there.

What type of scale does he prefer to work on.

He did a 1010 (old one) for me but that was a while ago now.

Im pretty sure that I have saw him say here on the forum that he does not work on any Chinese made scales.

I’m pretty sure that he will tune any of the older American made scales.

When did the ohaus 1010's start being made overseas. Mine was purchased in the late 70's/early 80's.

I have no idea about the answer to that question but mine was part of my first reloading gear purchase in 1977. It's USA made for sure.
Yours may have the manufacture country stamped somewhere.

I supply tuned M5/10-05s and tuned Reddings

 

[sparker]

I work on: US made scales of the following:
Lyman/Ohaus M5s,10-05s
Two poise LymanD5s and Ohaus 505s
RCBS/Ohaus 510s and 10-10s
Reddings

A fair number of folks who contact me are under the impression that they have to provide a scale. That is not the case. I supply tuned scales very frequently. Scales that I supply come with a transferable lifetime warranty.

Can you be more specific about which scales are better than the USA-made 10 -10?

 

[sparker]

M5/10-05
Reddings

Scott, can you make a D5 settle faster? I have one that repeats but takes forever to settle. Neither of my M5's will repeat so I don't use them.

Sparker wants to sell tuned scales that he has in stock. I have had some PM conversations with him. He seems to discourage those that want to send in their scales saying the may or not be USA made and are not worthy of his efforts to tune. But he makes no effort to help identify whether my (our) scales are USA made or not. Even when sending photos Sparker replies like "not a USA specific color" and then won't make an effort to identify.

I have a really nice Ohaus 1010 that is very accurate and was considering having it tuned by Sparker . Too much run around from Sparker wanting me to buy a tuned scale he already has tuned and in stock.

He is starting to come off to me as a rascal and I would prefer not to deal with him.
