Mike,
My old 9000G broke in the same place as yours but only on the left side. I had one of my foremans weld it up at the time (about 4 years ago)and it's been going strong since. I don't know how many rounds have gone through it, but it is devoid of most of the paint! It doesn't get much use now, I picked up a complete Spolar hydraulic and am now my foot is the only thing getting a workout. I love that thing!!!
There seems to be quite a bit of folks getting out of reloading lately. My buddy and I have bought out several guys components and reloaders for penny's on the dollars the past several months.
Inventory is looking pretty good except for primers.
Regards,
Ken
