Anyone got a non red printed version they want to sell?
Just the tray!
You are from Denmark? That's not too far, and no customs/taxes from Germany. I bought a few just when they came out (no red print), but didn't like them. I prefer the round ones, so maybe I still have one or two left. I'll have a look tonight, maybe you're lucky.

I actually got a few spares. Because of the high shipping fees from the US,I usually buy a few more parts.

In my spares box I found a total of five folding trays, old style. I can send you one factory sealed, unopened 2-pack. Just PM me your address. Are you ok with 7,50€ shipped?

A few weeks ago I worked with Lee regarding primers flipping inside my tray. It was the 'red printed' tray. They informed me that they have a new version that fixes the problem (the issue was that the tray was not staying flat when closed - bulged in the middle allowing primers to flip - they were jamming at the bottom as well).
Look at the linked picture from Lee. If you have the dimples then your tray is the older version of new model and Lee will send you a replacement at no charge, at least that's what they did for me.
Dimples as circled indicate older model of tray

By the way, e-bay has multiple sellers selling the trays... 2-packs for under $10 shipped. Search for lee primer tray

I've got all three types but I'm not having any problems with any of them. Primers are all CCI.

Chickenthief doesn't seem to be too excited about the parts. :(
