Wow this tread is going south really fast. Op I've looked at your pictures and check my press to see what you are missing. Didn't include items like low primer warning assembly since it not needed to make the press function. This is just a roughy estimate but your looking at about 250 to get the press working again. This does not include caliber conversion kits and dies. Here is a list of what you'll need. Hope this helps you out.

Part numbers:
13891-indexing ball
13720-index sprocket
13794- shellplate bolt
13997-index ball spring
13923-brass tip set screw(for shellplate bolt)
13869- primer operating bar
13650-spent primer bin
13803-ejected cartridge chute
13839- cartridge bin
16813-failsafe rod assembly(for powder measure)
22058-RL 550B Deluxe Quick Change Assembly
17950- Dillon Roller Handle (Aluminum)
13707- follower rod

Depending on what you have:
14281-primer slide assembly(large) or
14282- primer slide assembly(small)

I'm still keeping the press. One of these days I'll get around to fixing it up. Thanks for all the input.

Cool. Keep checking eBay, you can pick up the handle for like $20 on eBay because people upgrade their ball handles to the roller handle. Then small parts or parts kits can cover the bits and pieces.

An ebay company called "Hit factory" sells the shellplate with bearings, and has the detent ball. The spring for the ball can be found at Home depot in a spring kit (all it does is push the ball up so it clicks when you index the shell plate).

Some pieces are only made by Dillon, but eBay seems to have a lot of take off parts.

You should fix it now so you can enjoy it!
