Nosing around in a junk shop on Monday and found a Lyman Universal Power Case Trimmer. It was dirty and the chuck was frozen up. the motor however ran well. I got it for $24. got it home, cleaned it up and fixed the chuck with Kroil, a blow torch and a Dremmel wire brush. I had to order a new trimmer head but otherwise it works great. naturally, none of the rcbs pilots I have fit the stupid thing. So, I bought a set of nine most common ones from Midway. Don't know what I'm going to do with this one...I use a Dillon power trimmer for big jobs and an RCBS hand crank model for small jobs,

That's where my Hornady LNL AP came from! It's amazing what people throw away.

Nice find! -- If you already have enough trimmers, you could offer it for sale here or trade it to someone locally for powder, primers, etc? Just an idea...
