The Dillon seems to be less than superior, and the various hand held vibrating ones have left me wanting. Anyone fab up something that works?

I had an old Vibraprime I sold after they discontinued them and people were paying stupid prices. I bought a Dillon at that point and I use it for the bulk of my loading (SP). When the VP came back out and they went on sale for $25, I bought a couple.
They are not a “dump and hit the button” device. You’ll need a little technique, the tilt fore and aft are important and if they try and bridge the gap, I give it a little move, like I’m fishing with a popper.
Looks like this.
JM, were you able to get either of the units I sent you functional?
