I would buy it in a heartbeat. I have used several Ohaus scales for RCBS with great luck, and was lucky enough to find an original from the mid '70s still marked Ohaus, a 550. LOVE those scales.I have a chance to buy a RCBS beam scale made by OHAUS for RCBS but I would like to know if they are any good, what is your opinion? I have looked at it, it is used but in great shape. There are no model numbers on it, it only says made for RCBS by OHAUS. I know it is old but most of them work fine, I will take my RCBS weights and make sure it measures what it should. Let me know, he only wants less that $40 bucks for it, I think it would be a bargain???
Glad to see your post!........IOW's glad to see you are not MIA. How'd your property weather the storm?OP is MIA
We came through fine. One of the outlets to our pump system got flooded and shorted out but that's it.Glad to see your post!........IOW's glad to see you are not MIA. How'd your property weather the storm?
I used to have an RCBS 5-10 I gave to a relative, and still use a 10-10. Both still performing perfectly.
That's real good to hear especially considering how many folks fared. Minor damage is doable and no loss of personal property like a flooded gun safe.We came through fine.
I've been using a 505 for 45 plus years. It's the only scale I have and it keeps on ticking.
The picture is a 5-10. 5-10's and 10-10's have the same 1/10 grain wheel. Both great Ohaus-manufactured scales.View attachment 1106798I think it is a RCBS 5-10 cause it registers to 500 grains, has a level adjustable wheel for leveling to zero. No numbers on the unit, I say it is a RCBS 5-10 because it only goes to 500 grains. What do you think? Definatly not a 505 cause of the 10th grain wheel on the end of the level rod.
I think if you’re not going to get it you should IM me the sellers info so I can get it.View attachment 1106798I think it is a RCBS 5-10 cause it registers to 500 grains, has a level adjustable wheel for leveling to zero.

And I imagine feeling very pleased with himself.He’s right here with his new scale ‘
No problem. Glad you got it and I hope your buddy who sold it is happy with the deal, too.I took all of your advise and bought it, Sorry, GDF, I though is was a great deal and I got it for less than 40 bucks except the pan had been damaged which I might have to fix since I have been a metal worker all my life, gives me something to do since retirement. Thanks to everyone here for their advise, great forum.
Of course I am happy you grabbed it. You can roll your own pan or just Google " powder scale pans" and buy one. No shortage of pans and linkage out there to be had. I also get it with the retirement thing. Constantly looking for ways to amuse myself. Rumor has it if you don't keep busy with thought process your brain turns to oatmeal. Summers on the outdoor range and when the range becomes a frozen tundra there is the indoor range and reloading. Enjoy your new to you scale.I took all of your advise and bought it, Sorry, GDF, I though is was a great deal and I got it for less than 40 bucks except the pan had been damaged which I might have to fix since I have been a metal worker all my life, gives me something to do since retirement.
