Hi all, anyone that might be interested in the outcome of this little saga. Dillon have offered me a 30% discount on anything I order. So I have ordered the variable speed motor and a few other bits and pieces. Would have ordered more but a lot of items on backorder. I couldn't have asked for more. Dillon have been very good about this.

Hi DJ, Im not sure what a Feedinator is sorry. But Im just going to buy a new motor and keep using the Dillon case feeder.

Very little use in that time. I would say I would have been better off purchasing my ammo in that time

Sadly here in Australia they are over $500 and never a second hand one fond

Hi Sarge, I have been made to feel by most people who have commented on here and other posts that I am the only one who has ever had this happen to. I understand there is only a 1 year warranty, but I do not believe that after 3 years this should happen. But it is what it is and I will have to pay for a new motor. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Brooke, no it didn't thank you. I was able tp put the small flames out......

Hi RePete, Yes I am aware of this, I just believe that the unit lasting 3 years is not acceptable. Hopefully Dillon will come to the party somehow.

Hi all, I am hoping for some advice. I started my 3 year old auto case feeder and it ran for about 20 seconds loading cases and all was going well, al of a sudden it went bang and caused flames inside the housing. The person I have been dealing with at Dillon has said that Dillon are not prepared to offer a replacement feeder or even replacement motor and offered me to purchase replacements (which at the prices offered are dearer than purchasing the items here in Australia) Just wondering what people's thoughts are. Is it acceptable that this item lasts only 3 years with very, very little use? Is this what all Dillon customer should accept from their case feeder? I'm Very disappointed and cannot believe the response I have received. I would be glad to hear what other people's thoughts are. Perhaps Im expecting too much, but I believe that at $500 this item should be expected to last more than 3 years. Cheers.
