Does anyone know if you can still get the older round style of primer tray? And if so do you know the part number? I know, I don't want much.

My pro1000s all are pre 2018, so the old version.

Actually I like the new sliding priming system of the recent pro1000. I have ordered a few parts, because from the looks it might be easy to add to the old presses.

Yes, I know. I have tried to get a few, just after the new triangular ones came out. At that time the round ones already were out of production. I secured a few from a retiring reloader, but the clear lids of those are heavily weathered and brittle. The clear plastic did not react well to UV light. So I ended up with a nice collection of black lower parts, but no lids.

If you find some, take them.

Well, after listening to all of the tips, I've polished all of the edges on the gate, the chute, and the sides of the primer tray. I have to say, I was surprised with how many rough spots I found. I also spent time taming the bullet feeder. It was always dropping two at a time. Even though the chart said to set the balls one way based on the length of the bullet, the trouble shooter said to move the balls, and that worked. So, I have added a gate to the shell pusher, a powder drop check, a bullet feeder, and a six bulb led light. And things seem to be working pretty well. Now I just need to get to the range and empty some brass!
