VarmintGuyGlockmeister71: I have a new in the box Redding Model #2 Powder & Bullet Scale that was a gift to me a couple years back (I wished for a "powder measure" and got a "powder scale") for my birthday.
Did not have the heart to tell my offspring they had purchased poorly.
Anyway it is to be sold for $35.00 and it costs $99.00 at normal retail now!
All I know is its a Redding and I have one set up and calibrated already.
I like mine!

glockmeister71 http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=658771They're actually only $65,but you should be able to sell it for $35 pretty easy.I found a guy that tunes Ohaus 10-10's for around $100 shipped including the scale.I've about decided to go that route.

VarmintGuyGlockmeister: Received on the Midway catalog price (don't forget the shipping!).
I got my retail price ($99.00) from this link:
http://www.redding-reloading.com/pages/model2scale.htmlGood luck with the Ohaus, I have heard Ohaus makes virtually "all" the scales on the market today under the various brand names.
Also this, could you tell us about the "tune up" that your contact does. What does he do and is the typical owner of a Redding #2 in need of his services? Etc.
