    Kudos to Lyman

    I picked up a hard-used Lyman power case trimmer for, if I recall correctly, $40 at an auction. After trimming a few hundred .30 Carbine cases, the trimmer stopped. After letting it cool for an hour, it ran again. But I didn't think that was standard operation, so, after chatting with their tech support, I sent it back to Lyman.

    Turns out the casing(?) was cracked and it ran $75 to repair it. Although the power trimmer I got back looks new and shiny; not at all like the beat up piece of equipment I sent in.

    So, new or just remarkably well restored, I think Lyman did a fine job that was worth $75.

    Cheers,
    Richard

    Proving once again why they've been in business and serving shooters for so very long. good news!
    A government that robs from Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

    about 20 yrs ago or so, I knocked an LE1000 scale off the bench with a gun that fell over and caught the cord. Talked to them, they did not have a repair program in place yet. Said to send it in anyway.
    They sent me back a new one, cost me the shipping to them. Still have that scale, works just fine.
