Thread: RCBS Chargemaster 1500 problem??

I dought they would be interested as you imported it. They will take great pleasure on telling you the down side to importing

Your gonna have to send back to natchez..

Plus side of that is that natchez are fantastic to deal with when ya shits poked...

I hada weaver superslam that ABE managed to break with his rough hands (always breaking my shit that boy), I sent them an email and was told to return it...
NEKMINUTE I had a brandnew one at my door and it only cost me postage one way..
so wasnt to alarmed

Agree with CRZYMAN the NZ distributor will either laugh at you or charge you $200 to do it I had to send my CRF1600 back on a warranty recently and thats what the NZ distributor wanted $200 told them where to stick that

Would the RCBS agent for NZ, Sportsways Distributors NZ be of any help??

Would like to try avoid sending it back overseas........

They wont do anything under warranty as they didnt sell it.

Risk that you take when importing gear.

I fully realize the risk of importing, it is worth the money savings when it goes right...... I will contact Natchez as they where good to deal with when ordering etc.

Would it be worth playing with the settings or just putting it to one side to send back??

Just send it back . If you tinker with the settings it could be used as a reason to void the warranty.

Ok, to send it back, what is the best shipping to use?

Same people that delivered it?

USPS delivered it, will have to see if they have an agent etc here..??

Mine does exactly the same thing. Got it from natchezz a few months ago. It does it after about 7 dispenses. I just thought they were junk and live with it. I turn it off at the wall then back on and it does another 7 or so.

In saying that I did 50 odd rounds the other night and it only did it twice.

Fuct if im sending it back. Will cost another $150 in freight both ways. Interesting that they dont all do it?

Fluros are 'said' to cause an issue - mine was couple meters away and no probs

Now IIRC the power supply for them is a weird one - neg centre or something? - different to normal anyway - check the polarity on the unit and the supply.
I use a Old Uniden Cordless Ph power pack and is sweet.

The spot where the pan sits comes out - pull it out and make sure its fitted correctly

The final part of the trickle is tick... tick.... tick... a couple seconds apart, and the tube makes only a very small movement

Ups have a nz agent . Never used them myself as most of my dealings is with local stuff.

Nz post should be able to sort it but either will cost a bit at a guess.

I think mine is standard polarity.

I bought a jaycar adapter and quadruple checked the polarity before turning it on, as the jay car adapter can very easily be reversed, by simply plugging in the adapter at the end wrong.

Mine just stops, sits there for about 5 mins, then makes a long beeeeeeeeeep, then says err and you cant do anything. I just tap it with my finger and you can get about 3 or 4 grains out, but then it always does the same thing again, better just to reset it.

I have tungsten in the room so shouldn't be the problem.

A mate of mine has the exact same problem.
Throughs the majority of the charge but wont turn the tube for the last few grains - but you can hear the motor turning but its like the clutch wont engage.
He might have to send it back as well.

few issues poping up been thinking bout getting a chargemaster in

Mine wont even do 1 full dispense, Should only be freight one way there and if its broke, replaced and sent back free...??? worth the freight for what is supposed to be a top quality product IMO

Power fitting has same polarity as original power supply pug, shows center pin as positive, would doubt it would even run reversed? let alone not blow up... No final tick....tick....tick a couple of seconds apart and with no movement.

Exactly what mine does. Does the TRICKLE button work at all on its own? A bunch of defective ones around?

Where was yours from?
