USA made RCBS 10-10?

[nettle]

Decades ago I had a RCBS 10-10 that was destroyed by movers. I really liked the 10-10 scale so a couple of years ago I purchased a replacement from Ebay. I know, no holds barred with Ebay. Still it's a very nice 10-10 and was wondering if it's a China, Mexico, or USA scale. Ir did not come with the original box.

Not an expert on this, but mine has cast inside the base " mfd. by Ohaus Scale Corp., Florham Park, NJ USA. The box states "Made In USA"

This may help you to identify your 10/10

The OHAUS made scales can be tuned as I understand it. The china made stuff is junk! This may cause some reaction. But is fact!

These are photos of my scale. Scott Parker will not tune a 10-10 unless made in USA. Understandable. I sent these photos to Scott Parker and asked if this was a USA made scale and his reply was "Not a USA specific color". Not much help. So I am trying a different route to figure out if the is a USA made scale or not.

To my knowledge that is a scale that can be tuned. You have a very nice scale there.

I recently shipped a 10/10 to my Brother in law with a press (to get him started) and the 10/10 was not that nice. But still very accurate.

Is this a USA made scale?

 

[Cecil S.]

If you look at the bottom of your scale and see where it was manufactured it is a scale manufactured in the USA and can be tuned. But just to let you know.....I have heard that some of the China junk 10/10 scales where showing the OHAUS label. I am not a pro just a educated consumer. So do your homework and post it here.

Check the box

 

[nettle]

Check the box

I don't have the box.

 

[Cecil S.]

I don't have the box.

Flip the scale over and look at the bottom.

 

[nettle]

I posted pictures of the bottom. Scroll up.

 

[Cecil S.]

Your scale shows it was manufactured in Florham Park , NJ this scale is made in the USA.

Here's the deal. I send these pictures to Scott Parker and he says my scale is "Not a USA specific color". But then I send pictures of the base to this forum and am told that this is a USA made scale. Not trying to beat anyone up here. Just trying to get an answer.

As i mentioned earlier there was a time when China boot legged the OHAUS label. Scott Parker is the master with these scales.

I have these two Ohaus scales, which one would be better to have Scott tune for me?

How precise is the scale now with check weights, would be my first question.

Even the modern rockchuckers are cast in china and machined here, according to rcbs. This is why i opted for a redding bb2
