I do prefer the taller breeze break but can live with this as it is for now. Nice, I just need the new lid and self centering pan and then I have the complete set up. The price of shipping is my biggest hurdle, that hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plecotus Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Could anyone who has purchased an autothrow and autotrickler together recently let me know what the door to doo cost is likely to be to the UK, assuming that I'm not one of the lucky ones whose parcel sneaks through customs un-noticed?

Auto throw & auto trickler combo shipped came to £325. Can't remember what VAT/Duty came to. Probably around £360 all in. A&D scales are around £560.

MarkR Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Just fitted the v3 Electronics which arrived today - what a difference - money well spent - extremely pleased with the Bluetooth control, it makes setting up the A&D so much simpler with the additional ability to operate the Trickler and Throw independently of each other. https://www.autotrickler.com/v3-upgrade-for-ad.html https://www.autotrickler.com/autotrickler.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Barrelsniffer, in answer to your question, as I already had Adam's full v2 setup on a set of A&D Scales, with Area 419 Upgrades (like your photo above), all I purchased was the v3 electronics which cost USD $60 plus postage, plus small Customs Charge here in the UK, making a total of £92.57.

John MH Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Ordered the V3 powder dispenser as the Lee measure does not work well with RS80, should be here in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT3_richy Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Waiting for mine to arrive, have the 419 stuff but will see which bits work together best. Really looking forward to the bluetooth functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrelsniffer, I only purchased the v3 electronics, which is just a replacement board in the back of the A&D Scales. Unscrewed the old v2 electronics, inserted the new v3 board, re connected up the Auto Trickler and Auto Throw, and switched on - everything worked as before, but the only difference is that you can use Bluetooth to control both the Trickler and Throw motors independently of each other, but more importantly, you can set your target weight with a few clicks on the related App on your Mobile Phone or Tablet. At present I have no need to change the old v2 "Lee Powder Meter" Auto Throw mechanism like John MH is doing because of an RS80 powder problem.

DaveT Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I found the Lee powder measure to be a huge weak link in an otherwise great setup. I hope my V3 upgrade will sort things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plecotus Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Would be very grateful indeed if those brave early adopters on here could post their experiences with whichever of the upgrade components you've ordered. I've generally found the V2 kit to work well with most of the powders I use but, like a couple of posters on here, when using RS80 for my newly acquired .338, it kept having problems which required eveyrthing to stop while messed about with it.

johnnyb0_1 Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Evening chaps. Been looking at the V3 version and have decided to get one. Advice as to where to purchase please? I would like a one stop shop where I can do one transaction if possible. I'm resigned to the excise men stealing some of my hard earned cash. Thanks. JP.

Direct from Adam @ Autotrickler. He's fulfilling pre-orders at the mo, think new orders are looking at shipping circa mid-August currently.

Lukas_K Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I just wish they would do coding for more scales. Like Ohaus Pioneer series, for example. PA203 is direct counterpart in all technical parametres to the AD120, resolution, linearity, responsiveness... But ADs were never really the thing in EU, while I and many others already have an Ohaus on the bench. Can´t bring myself to justify a new scale now just because of compatibility. Stuck with the Omega trickler for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Fitted full V3 thrower conversion this evening. Works really well and the Bluetooth control via iPhone is awesome, certainly less faffing about. Area 419 straw fits new thrower but the original 'O' ring is to thick, as the threaded portion on the thrower is shorter, so get a thinner one.
