Replaced my Lee Classic Cast with a CH tilt back press.
With the Lee, the ram is hollow. Primers pass through, go into a plastic tube, and fall into the trash.
With the CH, since it's tilted back, primers get stuck in the slot for the priming ram.
Did a search and looked over the fixes for the RCBS.
The one mounted behind the ram, with a tube to go in the trash.
Looks like it might work
Anyone have any other ideas.

mount both. Use the Lee with the universal decap in there more or less permanently. A dedicated decap station. Run the tube into a catch bin that holds thousands of primers and empty it once a year or two. When you are between projects nad have a little money, you can play with those universal case kickers and other neat contraptions that would make bulk deprime easy.

The linkage on his classic cast broke, so it isn't operational.

Cheap to replace. You can get any replacement part from Lee.

I deprime on the Lee classic turret, using a turret disk with 4 different deprime dies mounted. The primers drop through the tube into a coffee can under the bench. I use a short piece of a drinking straw to make sure the Lee lives up to it's guarantee that NO primer will hit the floor.

Have a Hornady Progressive and a Lee Challenger Single stage, use plastic tubing on both, directly into a tall box lined with a plastic bag.
No mess. Easy disposal. No dust (Primers roll out of the bottom of the tube)
