I remember my Dad's old Ohaus 505 but am not familiar with this version. Anyone happy with theirs? Thanks Don

Isn't it the same as the rcbs 10 10? You ain't touching mine for no 35 bucks.
Yes I do believe it's the same as an RCBS 10 10, but older. I don't know how much older though. Looks complete. Is at an upcoming charity sale. Don
New I believe they are over $100, I haven't checked lately. It is my most used scale.

Hi,
GRAB IT! Amigo!

I got mine in a trade in 1972, still use it every loading session. Great scale!

Great scale.
If it's for a charity, jump on it.
Ohaus made the RCBS 10 10 and the Lyman M5 and they are the same scale re-badged as the Ohaus 10-10. My memory at least. I have owned one of the Lyman M5's for about 40 plus years now and I wouldn't trade it for anything, including the new electronic scales. I have one of those also but my M5 is here to stay as long as I last. james
just for grins take a bullet that you weighed on your scale and bring it with you just as a check weight
thats a good price
kids that hunt and fish dont mug old ladies
there are 2 different versions ---one is grams --- other is grains . make sure you get the right one
for 35 bet it could be grams
The last new one I saw was pretty close to $150.00.
To my knowledge, Ohaus made both the Lyman M5 and the RCBS 1010. Both are 1000 grain (actually 1010 grains) capacity; but there is a difference. The Lyman has a normal moveable counterpoise for the tenths position, while the RCBS has the micrometer adjustment style.
I have both, and as soon as I can decide which I like better; the other one will be offered in Swapping and Selling.

35 for any quality scale is a good price
"It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees" Looking for an RCBS Ammomaster and H&R shotgun barrels regardless of condition
picked one up a couple weeks back in the S&S for $32 shipped , the RCBS 10-10 runs over $150 new. Nice thing about the RCBS is they back it 100% had one I sent in to be checked and got a new in box one back
New they are $180 retail. I bought 3 broken ones and made one, Im into it $65 and considered that a great deal.
I also have an Ohaus I paid $100, complete and that was still a good deal

I wanted to follow up and thank you all. I did not get the scale as hoped. Just wasn't meant to be. I'll keep looking. I'd like to be able to weigh my slugs for accuracy and quality reasons, but my only scales are two Lee Precision balance beams that of course only weigh to 100 grains, and came in kits 14 years apart. Thanks though everyone. Maybe somebody here has a scale they are selling because of upgrading or something. Don.
Don,
Hang in there, you'll find one. But if you buy, don't buy one of the newer ones. They're made in Mexico and aren't worth the money. Not made like the old ones and have stampings in place of machined parts that aren't compatible with accuracy or accuracy tuning. Do a search on Scott Parker and tuned scales to see what I mean.
You can pick up the digital Frankfort scale for about $32 (around here). It seems to be a good scale. 0.1gn accuracy.
I have checked it against my lab weight sets and it is easily within tolerance and repeatability.
I have many beam scales (one dual pan lab scale that is 0.01gn) and tend to gravitate to my 2 digitals for speed and easy readout accuracy! FYI.....I collect and reproduce antique balance scales.
Good luck finding the scale you need!
