RCBS Identification

Better keep those items. I have 2 of the old presses, 1969 & 1974, and love them both. Call RCBS- you can get a new handle with the ball instead of the 'bicycle' style. More comfortable to use. They will also send you a new pin to go through the bottom of the handle with clips on both ends. The tapered pin that came on them would occasionally back out. RCBS customer service has always been great.

A new Rock Chucker press alone is around $200. The powder measure stand is another $25. It adds up fast and it won’t go down in price for new. Keep it if you possibly can.

Welcome from an old Jarhead.
KEEP IT! Replacing what you now have will cost you a small fortune in the future to replace it. Those old presses were quality made, you'll never wear it out. Just take it apart & clean it up and you're good to go. All you need to add are dies & components, a good quality measuring caliper, and especially a manual.
Good luck & keep your powder dry!

No, that's the old 510 and had a unique beam that did not have the turning piece for the .10gr. It had an aluminum thin piece that fit on the beam just like the Lyman D5 scale.

Sounds like a 502.

I’m gonna give RCBS an email with photos to see if they will replace it or not. I have all the pieces and original literature, just broken beam.

Post a picture of the beam. It might just be disassembled.
