Lawyerman Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I have a 1050 that has sat dormant for many years. I am trying to put it back in order. It appears based on the manual I have that a few parts are missing. I went to Dillons website and they do not have a parts diagram for the 1050.....so...I have no idea how much the parts are going to cost etc.....I am fairly sure that I have figured out exactly what I'm missing..... I guess I should just call them and see what I need to do. I have the parts numbers from my manual and I guess we can figure it out over the phone. I have started by cleaning the whole press-first I hit it with my air compressor, then with rubbing alcohol and some other cleaners- for the plastics.....Going to relube everything following the instructions for the 650 I found here.....See if I can resurrect the thing.

prreed10 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I purchased a used 550 earlier this year. I had the same problem. I used the diagram, got the part numbers and plugged them in to the website. You might want to consider shipping it back to Dillon. From what I hear, they will give it a complete overhaul and your cost is mostly shipping.

dillon Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 If you phone or e-mail us, we would be happy to mail a paper copy of the RL 1050 manual to you. From the shellplate up, the Rl-1050 and Super 1050 are pretty much identical, except for the primer actuating arm. All Super 1050 conversion kit, toolheads, interchange with the RL-1050. Only limitation is that .223 is the tallest cartridge that can be loaded on the Rl-1050. We charge $155.95 for a clean and lube service on the 1050 series of machines, which includes return shipping in the lower 48 States. In house turnaround time is about 2-3 weeks currently. For missing parts, just phone us and order them, and ask for assistance if needed. Don'y be shy, we're here to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoRecon Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Lawyerman: I have the RL1050 manual, version 3.3, online in PDF format. I could try emailing it to you if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I have to ask, as I've got 75-100k on two different 1050's. What replacement parts do you find you've needed? I'm tempted to get a spare primer magazine tip, but so fat that's the only item that's shown any sign of possible failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawyerman Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've got it all cleaned up. Going to order parts today. It will be nice to have the machine up and running. Hopefully once I get it set up I can spend more time shooting and less time reloading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
