Lee deluxe perfect powder measure

I picked one up at the Gunshow.
Came with the stand, but missing the hopper.
After playing with it I noticed the measuring tube calibration is off.
Not at "O"
Tube looks to be pressed in, and I'm hoping it can be pushed out.
Anyone have one of these and had this same problem???
I did send an email to Lee.
Paid $20 for it.
Stand is worth more than that.
I think I did good, even if I have to buy a new hopper.

Regarding the hopper: get the adapter for the older style hopper rather than the newer "powder bottle ready" hopper. I don't worry too much about what the measuring tube is at, as long as it throws consistant charges each time.

Anything that is indeed a "hopper" not yer powder bottle...and the darn numbers are pretty much irrelevant...just like any Powder measure...whoever made it.. tho Lee is closer, and had a Great Plan...it dont really work!!
I use my perfect Powder Measure more than the others..except with "fine" powder...they "leak" and the Redding, RCBS, Hornaday, all balk at stick and certainly course Flake Powder...No "Perfect" powder measure it Turns out!!!

I kind of like everything correct, even if I'm not.

So, with no help from Lee, I figured it out.
Picture 1
It was a little off. Couldn't get it down to "o".
Picture 2
The plastic part that has the line on it, is just pressed fit on to the adjuster.
I used a punch to tap it down so it would align with the "o".
Picture 3
Success.
