Overview
Designed for use with the Auto Trickler setup on A&D FX series scales, this replacement platen is intended to help keep the powder cup centered during loading. It is a billet aluminum component that works with the billet powder cup and is described as aligning the center of gravity with the load cell. Compatibility is limited to V3 and earlier Auto-Trickler units, and it is not compatible with the V4 Auto-Trickler unit. For serious reloaders who want a more integrated setup, it offers a purpose-built upgrade without changing the scale itself.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Compatible up to V3 only; it is not compatible with the V4 Auto-Trickler unit.
- Designed specifically for A&D FX series scales in an Auto Trickler setup, so it is not a general-purpose tray.
- It is a replacement platen for the setup, which means it changes the original scale configuration rather than adding a separate accessory.
- The product is intended to work with Area 419's Billet Powder Cup, so fit and function are tied to that setup.
