Got a Rem870 last week and was looking around at reloading tool options. Then I stumbled across this in the back corner of a gun shop. Very dusty, don't think they really knew what it was, except that it's for shotgun reloading. I bought it for $100, complete with bushings, box of primers and ½ bag of shot. Needs a good clean and a bit of paint on the base, but otherwise perfect.
I think I got a deal.
Ponsness Warren Patriot maybe? I think you got a deal too.
When I got back into skeet shooting (again) I saw a local auction house list a MEC 600 Jr in an upcoming auction. I went to the auction, took a look at the loader when i arrived and registered to bid. It was a 12 gauge NIB and appeared to have all of the parts present. I ended up buying it for $65. When I got it home I took it out of the box and started sorting out everything for assembly. I opened one of the parts boxes inside and it was an auto primer feed. Made my day.

that's the ponsness warren size-o-matic 900.
it has the quick change shot/powder bushings.
it also has the little bushing brush adaptor too.
you'll want to get the 300 primer tray adaptor it comes with a new cover.
the Hornady wad fingers will fit in it, and you can get sub caliber change overs for it.
I have two just like it and use the heck out of them.
I would have bought it for $100 and would have figured out somewhere to put it
Yes, PW 900. And yes, I intend to use the heck out of it.
My tinkering and DIY nature is already wondering if I can load lee slugs with it (don't see why not).
you can you'll just have to wait till after the shot stage and before the crimp stage to drop the slug in.
I think you can lift [or unscrew the hold in hex head bolt and drop it out] the shot dropper out to make a little more hand room in that area.
I would have to go look at one of mine as I might be confusing it with my L/S-1000.
I was thinking to adjust ram and shot tube shorter and drop the slug in with the wad.
