Canuck223 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Just curious, as I know that in the day, the RL1000 was priced well above the RL1050, but what's a fair price in todays market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I would appreciate a picture or 3 of this strange creature.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Boudrie Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Better check on parts availability - I don't believe that press is currently supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck223 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Better check on parts availability - I don't believe that press is currently supported. Yep, that's an issue. Frankly I could care less about RL1000, but theres a guy up here with one and an RL1050 that I wouldn't mind. He doesn't want to part them out. If I can buy the package for a fair price and flip the RL1000 it might be worth my time. Sounds like the machine doesn't break much, and if you do some digging, you can find spares or if needs be, machine replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Buying one would be a crap shoot for sure. IF it was in nice shape and you are a lucky person it might run for a long time with no issues. But.... Personally - about 1/3 the value of a decent RL 1050 is my guess. Just my .02.

dillon Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 look for a serail number of 810 or higher, or a primer slide about .200" thick. Earlier ones or non-rebuilt versions have a primer slide about .125" thick. next, check for excessive wear on the link arm pivot pins. Pull the handle partway down, then wiggle handle sideways. Check and be sure all of the clear plastic case feed tube with microswitch is undamaged. a replacement one is muy $$, as they were machined and glued by hand. Now pull the handle down and try to rotate the toolhead. If it moves, it's worn out. Almost NO parts are available for the RL 1000, so buyer beware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now pull the handle down and try to rotate the toolhead. If it moves, it's worn out. Almost NO parts are available for the RL 1000, so buyer beware I never knew that the primer slide had changed. Both of mine are in the 500 serial # range and the thin slide. Dillon I have always wondered what is the highest serial #/ how many RL 1000s produced? Back to the OP question I have not seen one sell since they are rare. I used to see some listed at what I thought was an extremely high price but I never saw one actually sell. I got mine as part of a package deal (good price for a 1050 with the 1000s thrown into the deal) also and never got around to selling them. You might have the same problem. I'll go with Merlin and guess about 1/3 of a used 1050 on price if you can find the right buyer. They would cost a fortune to produce now. I find them fascinating from a mechanical and manufacturing standpoint. They operate so smoothly I actually like them better than the 1050. The out of production and lack of parts will stop many from buying. You can search for Dillon 1000 and get quite a few threads on the RL 1000 in fact that is how I found this site.

bulletbaron Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I am always in the market for Dillon 1000 Loaders, I have purchased many that have needed to be rebuilt, so condition is not that important, as long as all parts & accessories are present. Price naturally depends on condition, what is with the unit and what is missing. I will pay between $750 and $1,000 depending on the previously mentioned criteria. I can be reached at 219-942-2400 Dennis at www.precisioncartridge.com Edited January 12, 2010 by bulletbaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
