Harrell press spent primer catch

Just used my combo press for the second time and am scratching my head on how to catch spent primers. I can't be the first to wonder this.
Have any of you come up with something?
Great press, by the way.
 
Deprime in a separate operation on another press. I use a Sinclair decap die set in a Lee press to deprime all cases. This way you can pretty much prep all your brass ahead of time and size when ready.
 
I have seen folks apply velco to the press body and use a old style camera film container with the opposite velco on it.
It may require notching the container a bit to get it situated so it will catch all the primers as they exit a different velocity.
Easy to remove, for emptying and transporting.

the velcro trick works VERY well. Dump after you finish each set of cases
 
All good suggestions. Thanks.
L.E., you had to have shined that press up for the photo.....it's spotless. LOL
 
Here's my first attempt at this monumental challenge.
Some of the primers pop out with great vigor and trampoline out of the box. I need to keep my spare (at the moment) left hand in position as a back stop. Something attached to the outside of the box as a barrier may work.
I used double faced tape to hold the box on.
