New project - adding a counter to a 550

[88E30M50]

Found this at an antique store today and picked it up to add to my Dillon 550 to keep track of load counts. I just need to fabricate a bracket and then connect the arm to the ram

Brilliant plan!!

I've already figured out how to mount it and just need to fabricate the bracket

I'd need one to about six numbers. I'd max that one almost daily. Great idea though!!

88E, Good find and I hope you got it on the cheap!
I've thought about this item as well. Frame mount, handle mount? Do tell w/pics.

I wonder if there is a modern one out there that can subtract from the total by 1, 2, 3, etc for the random case pulled out of the machine (Lee in my case). Maybe even an optical one that only sees what goes into the completed bin.

This one set me back $10. I have the bracket almost completed using a piece of a carbon fiber sheet that I had laid up in a previous life. It will mount under the primer feed tube and be actuated by the primer bar movement.
