Are you talking about a balance scale or a digital scale?
My RCBS digital scale came without a powder pan so I bought a 10ml lab beaker off the bay of e ( ) which works fine. For a balance scale, not sure.
Bought a set of used Lyman scales...no powder pan...any idea where I might find a replacement pan..preferably at less than the cost of the scales!

I use empty 177 pellet tin bottom halfs
Balanced with blue tack to all the same weights & dispense into those for use in a chargemaster
If it's a beam scale you will need to recalibrate the tare weight when you get a new pan, even the exact Lyman pan will not be the correct weight. It's easy enough to do.
Or, you could take the opportunity to get a Lyman plastic pan with the built in funnel - you will still need to re-tare the scale anyway.

Beam scales...I can see from the scales that I will need a correct weight pan. The pan holder has lead shot inside it which presumably can be adjusted. I have e mailed Lyman, usa for details of any uk supplier. Tried my rcbs pan..far too heavy to get a balance. The Lyman pan is probably aluminium.

Have a look at these on a well know auction site.

Thanks for the info...this is a D7 scale.....

The D-7 is fairly standard, any powder pan will do the job. If you have any worries about setting the tare weight, I made a short video a while ago showing how I do it.

The bay, set to search world wide, for the USA.
Watched the video thanks...my rcbs pan is brass and far too heavy to get a balance..I assume that the Lyman pan is aluminium or very thin steel. I have one response from the thread thanks.

Yes, the D7 pans were gold anodized aluminium. some of the later Lymans with the plastic bases used plastic pans.
A few years ago I made a short run of spare pan sets including the weight boxes and hangers. Unfortunately I don't have left.

Ok - Just had a rummage through my bit and found a spare pan - this is plastic, same size as the rcbs pans.
How about £5 including shipping if you're interested?
