Hi Gentlemen:
I gave each of my boys(now men) three boys,= 3 MEC 9000 Grabbers. I went to
9000H for the top dog. I have had it at least 15 years,with very little & I do mean very little problems. I have a few meaning (3) very small problems. When they occur, I stand in front of the loader with ear to ear piece & mouth to the mouth piece. I follow their directions & bingo,before long it is working like new. I have a friend who has returned 3 loaders to MEC to have 3 rebuilt. He bought them at a very cheap price, being salvaged from the open air dump.& they came back looking & working like new.Unless their policy has changed,it's your $$$ to get the machine to them. They pay for the return shipping.Charges are very reasonable. I could not be any happier working with any other outfit. I had a very unfortunate accident,that left me with a stainless steel humerus(Upper arm bone) complete with screws & bolts.(A friend of mine,always said I had a few screws lose.) Are you reading this Buddy? If it wasn't for the H part, I would be out of the reloading business. I would say, go with any of the major manufacturers with the exception of RCBS. They stuck me with a green machine for metallic reloading & all they did to help me & others was to discotinue manufacturing the green machine.
My sons & I have been extremely pleased with Dillon for our metallic reloading.Their no B.S. guarantee is just that, no bull sh--. You can take their word to the bank. I understand Spolar is quite a machine,but I do not have the big bucks to buy one of their machines.
Sorry,this response is so long.
