The major parts that you will need to buy separately are the Rod, Operating Rod- 13869, Cartridge collection bin- 13839 and the Primer Early warning system- 2302.
I am almost sure that if you buy the spare parts kit for the RL550B most of the small parts missing from the list you provided above are all in that package.

Dillon is great to deal with over WARRANTY stuff, but personally i wouldn't feel it was right to ask them to provide the missing parts for a second hand piece of equipment. that type of abuse it what makes them rethink how generous they may be over other legitimate requests eg they sent me parts on my word saying that they were broken, no need to ship back the broken stuff and wait for the replacement. my $.02

Dillon is outstanding to deal with. Be straight up and tell them you bought a 2nd hand and short those pieces. You may be surprised at the result.
 
The No BS Warrenty will get you back to the the basics.. You probably won't get the bin or the primer warning system.. (Actually is it a 550, and upgraded 450 or a 550B) the early 550's and the 450s' that were upgraded did not come with the primer EW system...
 
the collection bin you can get at wally or can tire- it's about 9 bucks for 9 of those- or less- it's in the hardware- i've never used my primer early warning system- it's just a buzzer and a rod- when the primers drop too far, the rod pushes on the ring switch and makes contact-
 
After some of your advice I didn't feel right trying to get them for nothing, so told them what happened and the list of parts I need, they're in the mail as we speak, cost me 70 for everything on the list.


Thanks all of you
