agalindo Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can you give me a bit more info on what you did to get this working? I have a old Lee hand primer that I broke the handle on. Sure would like to it to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngeyes Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Can you give me a bit more info on what you did to get this working? I have a old Lee hand primer that I broke the handle on. Sure would like to it to good use. Here's a link to a post on doing the initial work. I just glued on a cell phone vibrator instead of using the vibration from the tumbler. The cell phone motor can be gotten cheaply at Radio Shack. Let me know if you want more info. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99719 Edited January 21, 2014 by Youngeyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agalindo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks, I'll have to try this this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I reached the limit of my patience this weekend with the vp. It is taking me longer to do Win small primers than by hand and it apparently has flipped some of the primers upside down (I have lots of Winchester since its the softest I can get in the absence of Federal.). I tried modifying the holes (to the point of possibly breaking it for other primers) and using case lube. All to no avail. Unless someone has found a Winchester modification for vp, its time to: a) give up and do it by hand or swallow hard and dump $200-$400 into a pal-filler or RF100.

juan Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 mine was flipping half the primers so i gave it to my son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I really wanted to by the blue solution but the price for large + small primers was double the pal-filler. I finally took the leap and ordered the pal-filler through redtipbullet. I'll let you know my experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Got my pal-filler today, just a few days after ordering it. I ran out to the shop and shoved in 2 AA batteries that we're laying there and proceeded to load win sm primers. I was underwhelmed with the small vibration BUT then I replaced the (nearly dead) batteries with a fresh set and VOILA! This thing is awesome! I ran 200 sm win primers through it quickly without a hitch!! I couldn't get more than 20 of these sm win through my vp at a time before messing with it. This is simply incredible!!

flyingrhino Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My VP is getting on my last nerve. Looked for the Pal filler. Not in stock at Everglades. Is there any other place that sells them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmc Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Just ordered a Pal, tired of messing with the RF-100. What was the problem with RF-100? I can see people stepping up to the pal-filler from vp but I was assuming the RF-100 would be the ultimate. Maybe not...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY BARONE Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's the ultimate price but not reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmc Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's the ultimate price but not reliable. Wow, in that case, I'm even happier I chose to go this route. I made the decision on pal-filler vs RF-100 based strictly on price (thinking that both were overpriced in the first place!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMM Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I bought one of mine from Italy and the other Canada, but one of the guys I load with said he saw it on ebay and I think gunbroker too. I think we will start seeing more of them in the US in the next year or so. I love mine, wouldn't trade it for anything...well almost.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warpdrv Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I saw a video of a guy that modded his Vibra Prime, thought I'd give it a try, so I bought two of them, one for large and one for small, couldn't really beat the price on sale. Made some changes to the mods for mine.

GregJ Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 This is what I did to mine. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191183&p=2115072 I did find the original tube that came with the VP easily separates from the black adapter, and when the filler tube is inserted into the black adapter there enough resistance to keep it secure. This works quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works quite nicely. That is what I did with mine from the beginning, I didn't both with tape or some other method, I just used the black adapter with standard aluminum tubes I cut up from stock at Mcmaster Carr. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=191183&p=2115231 I have 12 extra tubes now which easily slide into the adapter which remains in my FA primer filler and the tolerances are good enough that the tube stays in the adapter until I pull it out.

GregJ Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 RDA, I think it was your post that convinced me to remove the original tube and just insert the filler tubes into the black adapter. I owe you an adult beverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 RDA, I think it was your post that convinced me to remove the original tube and just insert the filler tubes into the black adapter. I owe you an adult beverage. You are welcome and that would be great. I really like my FA primer filler, with the mod for the filler and the mod I made to the tray so I can remove and reinstall the tray without removing the black adapter, I am really pleased with it, it works great with CCI primers (my primary usage). I had a little trouble with Winchester and Tula, they don't flow quite as easily into the tube but it still works, they just occasionally can get hung up at the drop hole. Still worlds better than hunting and pecking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
