Bought one.
Took two passes to get one that worked.
Curious thing.
I calibrated and zeroed it according to instructions.
Everything seemed to be working ok
I weighed a paper clip several times
The scale gave me the same weight several times and
returned to 0.0 when I removed the paper clip.
All this was done with the clear plastic "Wind Shield" swung open.
All looked good.
Then I returned the wind shield to the closed/pan covered position.
The scale jumped from 0.0 to 1.something!
Swung shield open....returned to zero
Closed shield ....... 1.something
Many times....Same thing.
I looked VERY Carefully
NOTHING EVER touches the pan or pan support.
I am just ever so gently swinging the shield aside
and returning it to "snap locked " in place
What's going on ?
Is this normal ???
If so....How do you zero and weigh with the shield in place (covering the pan)
Do you have to zero it exclusively for one or the other mode of operation
Doesn't seem right.
Help me understand what is going on and what (if anything) to do about it.
RCBS is being No help.
I e-mailed them several days ago and got NO response.
Tried to call them today (Friday) and they seem to be closed Friday through Monday.
