Rcbs charge master lite repairs?

[Irina]

Is there anyone in Canada who repairs these scales. Mine will not hold zero. Did the warmup, rubbed it with static cloth, no tvs or cell phones near it. It used to work great now it just sits there and fluctuates .1 all the way up to .6 then down again even after calibration. Called rcbs they said to try a repair man in Arizona. Just wondering about canada first.

I can’t remember the name of the place that I phoned to repair my chargemaster. They wanted over $200 to look at it and that doesn’t include the repair plus shipping. Mine went in the garbage.

I had a similar problem with my charge master. I discovered that if I used it in my basement where I utilized Fluorescent lighting after a few minutes it would become inconsistent. I moved away from the fluorescent lights and the problem disappeared. Went back to the fluorescents and problem started again. Not sure if it is common or not but it was the one and only problem I had with both of my charge masters. They are not the lite models though.

I have had similar issues. The problem was grains of powder stuck in under the plate you set the powder pan on . Blow it out with air blow gun. Worked for me and she is still working good.

Tried this also.

Mine would keep trickling even after it made the target weight.
