fileophile Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I have a 650 with the Dillon powder check die installed. Everything works as it should, except for me. My hearing is getting poor and the frequency of the buzzer when there is a double or squib load is one of those frequencies I can barely hear anymore. I called Dillon to ask if there was an adjustment or different product I could get to change the frequency, or show a LED light instead, but they told me I was out of luck. So turning here... anyone have a similar issue or found a solution, or can think of a solution? I can open it up and put in a new resistor or something if that will change the tone.

oteroman Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I would suggest put a bright LED on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fileophile Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 I have a LED light on the press, but I cannot see into the brass from where I sit. I'd have to reload standing or fiddle around with bench/chair height. SO I'm hoping to just adjust the tone and go back to the old familiar way of doing things. (Old guys don't like change as much as we used to.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlvrDragon50 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Camera solutions aren't that expensive. I think they're only ~$50 for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennJeep1618 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) This is what I did for my 1050. It shouldn't be hard to adapt it to a 650, if needed. The links to the parts I ordered are in the description of the video. Edited November 2, 2017 by TennJeep1618 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwevers Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I REMOVED THE BUZZER AND TURNED IT AROUND. MADE A 1"" HOLE FOR THE SOUND TO COME OUT. YOU HAVE TO GRIND OFF A SMALL EAR FOR IT TO GO BACK IN. WASN'T ENTIRELY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT, SO I HAD A FRIEND WIRE IN A "WHEAT GERM" BULB. NOW IT'S A LOT BETTER. BUT I SURE WISH DILLON OR SOME AFTERMARKET GUY WOULD COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT BUZZER. THE LOW PRIMER ALARM IS FINE AND I'M SURE I'M SMART ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM IS EVEN IF THEY SOUND ALIKE. HOWARD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlvrDragon50 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Honestly I think I might rig up a camera next week. It improves your vision of what's going on so much. Your camera seems to be really high quality Youngeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlvrDragon50 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I would actually get this monitor, looks to be the same one Youngeyes is using. https://www.amazon.com/Padarsey-Backlight-Serveillance-Satellite-Equipment/dp/B06X1BKZVC/ref=pd_sbs_107_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06X1BKZVC&pd_rd_r=Z8QHM65XQTQP3ZTWCX40&pd_rd_w=FPvUr&pd_rd_wg=glCSb&psc=1&refRID=Z8QHM65XQTQP3ZTWCX40 Much higher resolution, and the camera will be the limiting factor, not like the other monitor.

TIA! I drilled a hole in the end cap that I attached to the pipe. I drilled another hole in the monitor stand. I used a nut and bolt to hold it together.
