Long Term Super 1050 owners

[Taipan]

Hi I would like to ask owners of the 1050 what parts they would suggest as vital spares and should be kept on hand as I live in Australia I would like to have them on hand now rather then try to get them in a rush when I break something (ok ok I know Dillon's never break ) but in my hands any thing is possible.

I know that Dillon give you 1 year warranty on the 1050 but I still would like to have the items that tend to be prone to wear/damage just in case.

Many Thanks to any response

I would get the spare parts pack for the 1050 in addition to a bunch of the plastic primer tip at the bottom of the primer tube. You can get the small rubber tubes for the primer shuttle but I think you can also substitute 1/8"? (can't remember the exact diameter) clear plastic tubing and cut it down to size. Other than that, there isn't much that seems to wear out.

Just take the little rubber piece to an auto parts shop and tell them it's a sample of the size brake hose you want to buy.

I wore out the vertical bar that actuates the primer slide. It looked fine, but took a bend (in the counter-intuitive axis - the direction in which you would think bending would be impossible). I had a hard time getting the slide to move all the way into place. When I compared this to the replacement, the bend was obvious - and the press worked much more reliably with the new one. It took over decade for this to happen.

Have an extra slide actuating lever. All it takes is getting a little impatient and forcing just a little to get a slight bend in the lever. You have to take it out and put it against a straight edge just to find it.

I would make sure I had at least 7 pins so if one gets lost you can keep going.

+1 on that spring.

The other part that I have problems with is on the casefeed assembly: 13333 Bolt (Locater Tab)

I tend to put a slight bend into it over time.. probably just not lubing something I should be. Now I just have a couple extra when it happens.

The only thing I ever broke, & I broke 2 of them, was the lower swage rod.
