  Twenty years? That would be frustrating... I had a Hornady Pro-Jector that I bought used, and it came to me seriously out of time. I worked on it and puzzled over it for many, many hours until I finally had it working right, but unfortunately I didn't take notes. I do remember the adjustments are sensitive, but I firmly believe with some study and observation you will see how it works. Don't try to adjust timing while loading, but rather all stations empty. When I was all done, though, I decided it didn't compare favorably to my Dillon 550, and I sold it. I had in the long run more frustrations with the powder measure and drop tube functions than anything else. The fellow I sold it to must have solved the powder drop frustrations, he reported to me that he loves the machine!

  Looks like it indexs same as the New LnL
  
  My New LnL (basically new projector) had issues with the #1 plate but it was easily adjusted
  
  The pawls that turn the index wheel need to engage it "just right"
  
  one of them adjusts the throw and the other the pull for lack of better terms.
  
  I would bottom them both out so they don't turn anything
  
  Adjust one to push until it indexes that way properly
  
  then adjust the other one to pull (index the other way) until it does properly
  
  then you can adjust them as needed to fine tune it.
  
  I was confused when I first got my LnL the above worked for me and now I can adjust it if needed.
  
  I had read the projectors had indexing problems could be you need a new wheel.
  
  Call Hornady and tell them your problem, I have never had them say they wouldn't fix it. My experience with their CS has been fantastic
  
  The LnL had only one problem "EZ eject Wire" which I talked them into replacing it for the price of shipping me the part $5.99
  
  
  Dillon makes good equipment, but you will pay for the name which adds very little functionality to their products just more money.

  I shipped them a 366 once to have it rebuilt it came back with the cost of shipping it to them deducted from the bill. I have never had them not make it right.

  If you'd bought a Dillon in the first place; you could have called them at your convenience and had someone talk you through your troubles; but then, if you'd bought a Dillon in the first place; you wouldn't be having problems.
  There's a lot more than just the nameplate behind every Dillon.
