Trust me that is when I first moved it up from the basement after the kids moved out. But I try. Love the old spar t but thinking of adding a progressive within a year.
I have two Spar-T's. My first is the the one the OP is showing but has a (cracked) primer cup that I bought around 1977. The second I pick up a slightly used set up on fleebay a few years ago cheap. I agree with others on the pins. The other area to check is make sure there is not a primer stuck...
I will also order the 50th when it comes out to go along with my 49th and the one I bought40 years ago when I first started reloading. Back then reading that manual was the only way I learned as I didn't know anyone that reloaded.
I used cubicle work surfaces with a work bench base. The stuff is hard and easy to clean and heavy. Does not flex at all. Another great bench top is to go to a commercial door company and see if they have any damaged solid wooden doors. I have one on my first bench in my basement.

Can I ask what you are paying to having it done? I am also thinking of having it done next year. I am 56 and didn't need glasses till about 40, readers. Progressed to now I need progressive lenses for reading and distance. Same with contacts, one eye distance and one eye reading. It works but...
I use my 55 on an old Spar-T. Lift the handle up with my right hand, flick the tapper up with my left. Dump the charge, flick the tapper up once again. consistent charges all day long and no loose powder.
