I did the following(and it worked). I attached a magnetic reed switch (from an alarm system) via tie wraps to one of the three vertical posts. I attached a magnet to the carrier using silicon rubber. I also used a 3 volt vibrator moto and a wall wort that supplied 5 volts. As the carrier passed the reed switch, it would momentarily activate the motor and vibrate the primers.
I was watching this video and I thought that if you mounted the push button switch much lower with some kind of bracket but activated it from the top with a coil spring that compressed as the mechanism, lowered, that would solve your problem and extend the battery life. I hope you understand my description.
