Ol' Joe...Your pan was brass for your 5-0-5? Must be really old. Mine is over 20 year old and it came with an aluminum pan. If I wanted to get my 5-0-5 scale to 0 with the steel pan that came with my Powder Pro electronic I would have to remove some weight from the...Just pulled my 5-0-5 instruction sheet out...They are calling the pan with the lead weights in it's bottom the "pan" and the other one the "scoop". Sooo...I would have to remove a bunch of weights from the "pan" if I was using a steel "scoop"...

By The Way...My "pan" and "scoop" are both made of aluminum...

The scale was my dads, I think it dates from the early `60s, definatly pre 1970 by a couple years but, still works like new.
The "Pan" on it is aluminum. I am mistaken on the terminology. The "scoop" appears to brass but might be "washed"? brass. I`m not sure but, I believe it is the original.

 

[The Bushmaster]

Yup...Gold in color aluminum...
