Anyone have any ideas where to find a replacement beam other then checking ebay every day in hopes something shows up? RCBS and Ohaus won't even talk about them.

Doubt if you're going to find a replacement beam unless you run across another damaged 10-10 with an intact beam. I broke one several years ago...cat knocked scale off shelf...and RCBS gave me a really good deal on a 'refurbished' 10-10. I sent in my old scale (along with payment) and had an 'as-new' 10-10 within ten days or so. IIRC, cost was around half of retail on a new scale.

I had the opposite search a while back, I did a trade and received a 10-10 with the rear feet broken off. I was able to patch together a good fix to get it back into operation. Parts are becoming harder to come by already.
Also look around for a 5-10 scale. The beam is the same but does not have the pin for the add on weight.
Good luck..
I was wondering about the beam on the 5-10 being the same except for the pin. Thank you for that bit of information. At least it widens the scope of the search a bit.

OK roysha, I have in my spare parts, a 1010 beam with a 1010 base (plastic). That's all. Interested? But it's a Lyman. Beams may be the same.

Well rats, my 74 year old brain is a tad fuzzy. I just dug it out, it is a Lyman 1000, not 1010. I've never had an RCBS scale so I'm not sure the beam is the same. I believe both were built by Ohaus. Take someone smarter than me. I thought I could help. Check it oiut.

They are not the same. The Lyman is calibrated in five grain per line, and the 1010 in ten grains per line. The Lyman has a straight part and a slider for 1-5 grains, the 1010 has a cylinder that spins for 1-10 grains.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
Yes, later I looked the pictures of each scale up. Hoping I could help but, no.

I can’t get the photo to upload but I have a Redding balance scale you can have. Just send me your info if interested. Email if you want the picture.
Thanks
