[QUOTE="thatguyshm, post: 961835, member: 69989"] So I was surfing eBay last week and I happened to come across a Ohaus 505 vintage scale. It did not come with any instructions, and I was just wondering if there are any tricks I should know about and learn while using this scale. I have a digital for back up, but I guess I have a weak spot for nostalgia. I love getting vintage equipment, manuals, collecting any such thing and using it in my day to day loading. I know from youtube and a few resources via searches here and on google that it must be leveled, as I have done. It can be a bit clanky while trying to fine tune and trickle to weigh. I'm just playing around with my Dillon 550B, getting a new toolhead set up for 6.8spc with H322 powder. Should I try to find a similar weight, smaller powder pan rather than the original large pan? Or should I just put it on the shelf, displayed and use something with a bit more narrow of a weight range? By the way, I snagged it for only 38 bucks, so no matter what I'm fine with that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -shm [/QUOTE]
