After loading for a couple of days, I am convinced the clear lid is a must have, especially when that one errant kernel manages to pop out of the cup and land on the platen. If you didn't have a clear lid, you would never see it and the rest of your drops would be off. 1 kernel isn't much, I know, but. Plus the rigidity it adds over the one that came with is a big factor for me.Just a "heads up" troops, looks like the clear lids are back in stock at Area 419. Anyone on backorder get a shipping notification?

What is the purpose of the Teflon? (I just got my reducers from ebay yesterday.)
What was your order number on yours?
I got mine from Adam himself and scale from CE
The reducers aren’t threaded and are slightly smaller than the id of the trickler tube. Adding the Teflon makes for instant threads. It was probably 3 to 4 wraps and then screw it in, but start with 2and work up. My tube was level and my slider was towards the + end and I could consistently watch the last 2 kernels drop in.
@bunny too and whoever else bought reducers based on this thread I'd appreciate feedback. I think they are fantastic additions. Just like any thing it may take a bit of use to dial everything in but it makes this part of the process so enjoyable.
I would not use the mat, kinda defeats the purpose of the granite, just make sure to hook the ground wire up to your line conditioner or surge protector.
Can you explain the ground wire hooking into the other two places? I’m somewhat confused.
On the back of the scale you will see a screw for a ground wire, run a wire from that to a three pronged plug (power prongs are unused) and plug that into your power supply, preferably a surge protector, line conditioner or uninterrupted power supply. The power adapter for the scale is a two prong and thus no ground.
I talked to Adam about this. Reports it is unnecessary to use a line conditioner or other methods to ground the unit. Just use a good, quality surge protector and should be GTG.
Adam would know!
Ordered mine through Unknown Munitions, and had it in the exact timeframe they described (about 2 weeks). Great customer service and perfectly packed. Would highly recommend anyone to go through them for the Autothrow.
I ordered from ce and I paid my remaining balance at the first of September. I order July 14
Must have been a surge in orders right around July time. I ordered mine the 20th and I'm #6521RS. So only 79 behind Bb214....
The wait is killing me

For anyone who is looking for a dust cover for their unit, I got linked up with a guy who makes his own. CE Products referred him and I'm incredibly happy with the quality of it. He usually does high end radio covers so is used to working with sensitive electronics. I can forward his contact info if you're interested.
(Not my pic, just one he sent to me. Mine looks identical though)

Can you just post the info, think many would be interested.
I'm not positive what the rules on posting it up are so I'll check that out first.
I would be interested as well if its cheaper than the 419 one.
It's fine. As long as you're not the vendor, trying to hock their stuff personally, there's no issue with members just recommending a vendor for a certain product.
For those asking about the dust cover, here's the website: https://radiodustcovers.com/
I believe the price is the same as the 419, but with this you can have anything you want stitched into the cover. Just another option.

Thank you. I am very happy with my Area419 cover but these covers would be perfect for other items on the bench. Especially for those of us who have garage workspaces.
Good news! Got my invoice this morning. Order 6521RS
How much was yours. I don't see a price or option on his site.
No, that is normal. You should get it in a week. Tracking does not become available until it crosses the border in two days.
80lb granite here. Middle of page 8 on this thread there’s some info on the granite
Sounds like I have about 240 orders ahead of me yet! What was your order date? I'm anxious! Lol
80 LB granite surface slab with Airy points ( I used Teflon furniture buttons). It is a beast, I can reload right next to it and it does not twitch.
I am sure it will be, I then to go overboard I am told (often.)
12 x 9 x 2 Grade B surface plate from Grizzly. Not 80 lbs, closer to 28, but seems enough. About $50 delivered.
It usually does, have you tried a "UPS My choice account'? They are free and should give you the information you need.
Yes, I have one. Got nothin'
Got to run my autothrow for the first time today! Should of ordered that a year ago! Loaded up some dasher rounds for the am..
