I know we have gone over this in the past but recently my RCBS scale quit working and will not come to life. No one works on this old workhorse anymore so looking at scales again.
Any bad reviews on the A&D FX-120i with Auto Trickler? Any problems at all?
I would hate to spend that much money and regret it!
Edit to add: I have read ALL the past reviews on scales but looking for current information.

Yes,no luck. I took it all apart and had a ton of dust which I vacumed out and used canned ait to make sure there was no more dust. It worked great for several months.
I bought this PACT electronic scale (my brother inlaw has same scale with RCBS on it) when they first came out so it is pretty old and gave me thousands of good loads but now can't zero.
 
I took a plunge and purchased the Auto Trickler V4 with the FX-120i about a year and a half ago. I was a bit nervous about the spend based on some of the lackluster reviews, especially right after the V4 was released. I'll say that my only regret is not doing it sooner. Fantastic unit.
 
Eric H thanks for the reply. There is a guy here that used to work on electronic stuff but retired. He looked at it and said the power supple looked ok at that time. He said it could go soft after being on after awhile. Cannot get parts for it.
I have a RCBS ChargeMaster and like it but it throws loads a tad off. A friend has a A&D FX and checked a few of my loads and told me to not use it for close to max loads. That is why I am looking at the A&D FX

AnD FX120i are awesome scales.
Add a Supertrickler or Autotrickler V3 or V4, and you are set.
If I get one (and I most likely will ) it will have the autotrickler maybe! Thanks for the review.
How long have you had yours and do you have any regrets?

I have the Supertrickler. I have had it for 2.5 years. I was order # 322. But I have loaded probably close to 25k rounds with it in that time. I know I have shot right around 13k rounds in that time period.

I have buddies that have has the Autotrickler V3s for a long time.
 
Now in a quandry, looking at the Auto Trickler and the Super Trickler and trying to decide which is a better for my super small reloading room.
Edit to add: Both may be too tall for my cramped reloading room. I do have very limited space.
