Hi all,
I bought a used RF100 from a guy, and cleaned up the dust/crud that had accumulated in all the user serviceable areas. Plastic see through cover, metal surface of the vibratory surface and ramps, and inner tube of primer magazine with cleaner, patches and finally dry patches. Surprisingly dirty in there, by the way. I should mention that I have the "A Plate" installed at the top, near the exit ramp.
I did all that because I had a really tough session this weekend where in 200 rounds loaded while I was dialing in my 1050, I had 12 upside down primers.
I tested the RF100 yesterday, and found that:
It takes as many as 4 cycles of the machine to finish loading 100 primers.
6 out of every 12 go into the magazine upside down (average of 6 100 primer tests)
So I called Dillon today as they apparently don't answer emails very well, and explained that my unit is old enough that it predates the variable speed that they currently offer. It's just on, or off.
My question for you is, has anyone here ordered and installed what I'm told is an upgrade kit for this style unit? It's another $50 to dillon to get it to the door. It's apparently a circuit board and a knob, don't know much else about it.
Curious if anyone has applied this fix to an older RF100, and what your result was.
