Anyone make one????
I've always wanted to.
The type that have a photo eye that will turn off when the load is reached.
Looking for some plans and parts list.
Seems like something interesting to try.
I use an old Lyman Auto Scale, and it works great.

The cheapest DIY trickler that I have come up with is a PLASTIC SPOON. Tap, tap, tap and some tweezers to add or subtract a grain or two from the scale's pan too.

That's one of the few I saw on utube.
It's just what I'd like to try and make.
