.... Solid company to deal with.

Yeah, I have NEVER had a bad experience with RCBS and their Customer Service
Not once
" Yeah, we've had some issues with a few of those (fill-in the blank) .... we'll send you one that we know is OK "
Free replacement Parts
Fix or replace a jammed-up Die
You name it
Only cost "MAY BE" your shipping to them !
I tore the Base off of a 7.62X51mm NATO Case inside a Small Base Sizing Die
I took the De-Capper and Lock Ring off and sent them the Die Body
Once they received my bad Die, they sent me a brand-new one (FREE)
New De-Capper, Lock Rings and all
No questions
Not everybody will do that !
They've sent me all kinds of free (replacement) stuff:
De-Cap Pins
Extra Lock Ring .... With and without Set-Screws
And I LOVE these Spacer Rings:


I use them for several things while loading

OK; so here's the long and short of it
RCBS says it's waaaay out of warranty, so try the "Love Tap" :

"  During the use of electronic scales over the course of a day, you may notice your RangeMaster scale's readings begin drifting or not returning to zero.  This can be caused by changes in environmental conditions, especially temperature, and also residual stresses in the load cell from manufacturing.  First, verify that your unit has had sufficient time to warm-up (at least 20 minutes).  If you have been using your scale for more than an hour and noticed this behavior, try re-calibrating your scale, especially if you are outdoors or in an uncontrolled environment (garage, shop, etc. without air conditioning).  Otherwise, your load cell may need to be stress-relieved to eliminate these symptoms.  Normal use of the scale over time will break-in the load cell and cause these symptoms to stop, but could take hours of use.  Follow these steps to safely accelerate this 'break-in' period of the device and eliminate this problem:

Accelerated Break-In Procedure:

1.  Remove weights and pan from platen
2.  Press 'ZERO' button
3.  With your finger, tap the platen softly enough to barely cause the scale to overload (you will get an "OL" reading).  The amount of force required will be comparable to how hard you push on a computer keyboard when typing. 
   **Note** the scale is equipped with a mechanical stop on the load cell to prevent it from being over-stressed.  However, applying excessive force could still damage it.  Do not hit your scale with more than 8 ounces (250 grams) of force.
4.  Repeat this tapping 20-30 times. (You do not want to see OL)
5.  Allow your scale to stabilize.  If you have a non-zero reading, your scale did have residual stress in the load cell and should function better now.
6.  Recalibrate the scale and resume normal operation.
7.  If over time, you notice this behavior recurring, repeat these steps again as necessary.  "

Well, it didn't work
So I tore-off the "VOID" sticker and unscrewed the Face-plate
Lightly drug a Screwdriver across random Solder Joints; thinking maybe it needs to discharge static or any residual charge
Plugged it in and voila 0.0
Calibrated and working
Don't have a clue as to what it did, but the Scale works !
Thanks for all the input

Glad it worked.

At the risk of dating myself, I can remember with the Apple III a common trouble shooting step was to drop the CPU from a height of 6-8" onto a desk.

All the transistor chips were in sockets rather than soldered, and the heat cycle of using the computer would work them loose.  Dropping it re-seated them.

Not many remember the RCA Vacuum Tube Testing Stations at the Local (Thrifty) Drug Store either
Mmmmm, Thrifty Ice Cream
I'll take a triple please ! ! !

I have been reloading for over 30 years. RCBS and Dillon  equipment and supplies. Their support is absolutely awesome. Two fine examples of great American companies.

RCBS is great with their "Hard" Tools, but Electronics .... not so much .... but then again ..... who IS ? ! ?
