Joe, I have a MEC 650 20 ga sitting on my bench that I have never used, and it also has a Universal charge bar on it. I bought it used at a gun show for $65, but never really tried to figure it out. It does not have a primer feed tray, but does have the primer tube. Saw them at Cabelas for over $350, but would be happy to get my cost out of it.
I was planning on taking it to the Southern and Northeastern SXS shoots to see if any body was interested, and that way they could see and check it out. I also downloaded and printed the instruction manual for the 650 and the universal bar which would go with it.
I have 3 MEC 600's (12, 16, 20) mounted on my bench and happy with those ,so never did anything with the 650.

This might not be the thing for you, Joe, but if you ever wanted to use the MEC 650 with an electric or hydraulic assist such as the Auto-Mate or the MEC hydraulic unit, I made a mounting block to fit the 650 and get it to the same height as a MEC9000 (or the 8567 Grabber -- not the 76 Series Grabber). It's free to anyone who wants to pay the shipping: http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16991&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=mec+650 You'd still need the special links to attach the assist cylinder or actuator to the lever mechanism, but you can get those from MEC. This worked great for me with the Auto-Mate, and then I got a 9000 in 16 gauge and sold the 650. Now I have this piece kicking around,and I hope someone can use it -- just can't seem to throw it out!
Here's a re-fresh on the pictures, as they don't seem to come through anymore on the forum topic for the above link:
