RCBS Chargemaster problems

Hey guys,

So I picked up a chargemaster and the scale works awesome... until it hooks up to the dispenser. Once it is hooked up the scale "gains" 18g and registers a 50g check weight at 32g???

I tried calibrating the scale while connected to the dispenser but only receive an error. So I calibrated the scale alone and it worked. Next step, connect the dispenser, so I connected it and the damn thing gains 18g!!! The the crazy part, I put a check weight on it and it somehow reads 50g, I remove the check weight and bam 18g again!

I've tried removing static electricity as best as I can by cleaning the dispenser to no avail. I think I'm gonna pick up some bounce sheets tomorrow. Is there anyway to ground the dispensers electronics (unpowerd of course)

uhhg any ideas before I punt this contraption out the door?

... Nevermind I figured out a potential solution.... I removed all the rubber feet and tilted the scale up slightly... very strange...

I'm sure there is, I have a call into RCBS, but the problem of course starts the night before the range and I have all my rounds to charge!
