[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 793822, member: 52763"] If you want a new one, the RCBS Model 1010 Magnetic Powder Scale 1010 Grain Capacity, identically the same design with a couple of minor changes as The Lyman M-5 made by Ohaus. Midway USA sells it. Here's the link: [url=http://www.midwayusa.com/product/415607/rcbs-model-1010-magnetic-powder-scale-1010-grain-capacity]RCBS Model 1010 Magnetic Powder Scale 1010 Grain Capacity[/url] Midway USA doesn't show a cover or mention a cover for this scale, but I just checked the RCBS website and their description shown below says it comes with a cover. The beam, the pan & other parts store in the base when they aren't being used. I paid about $30 for mine in 1969. 10-10 Scale Description Need up to 1,010-grain capacity with 0.1-grain sensitivity? You get it with the RCBS 10-10. Its approach-to-weight system speeds reloading and helps you avoid overloads. A micrometer poise allows easy adjustment at any setting from 0.1 to 10 grains. Other features: magnetic dampening, non-stick / non-spill aluminum pan, self-aligning agate bearings, hardened steel pivot knives and a tough plastic cover. I'm pretty certain anyone who has used one will vouch for it's accuracy & reliability. RCBS retails it at $201.95, but Midway USA has it on sale now for $143.99. I've seen the Lyman M-5 many times on the Internet for around $25 - $40. Just from appearance alone, I suspect parts would be interchangeable.
