Riveting Machine ?
Picked this up a few weeks ago at a garage sale, the guy told me he thought it was a riveting machine of some sort, the condition at the time was pretty poor (rust, grime, grease, and a lot of unknowns) I offed him 10 bucks and he grinned took it.
After degreasing, bead blasting, polishing, some bluing, and a new coat of pumkin orange, we have a beautiful little Lyman Tru-line Jr. (anybody remember them ?) I actually have no real use for this little guy, so maybe I'll find a good home for it. Beside shooting and reloading, one of my other hobbies is rebuilding old reloading equipment, just love to see old stuff like this get a fresh start. |

Re: Riveting Machine ?
What a cool little reloader and nice work. Thanks for sharing. How much do you want for it? I don't need it at all but I just like it. I have this old Hollywood press and if you will pay the shipping I will package it up and just give it to you.

Re: Riveting Machine ?
That thing is so coooooool!!
 Well done Bob!! Would you be interested in selling it? My Uncle left behind an old RCBS press.... looks like an old Rock Chucker. I didn't look @ it very close because it's in a very bad way (rusted bad) so I didn't give it much thought. After looking @ your rebuild/restoration, I might just give it a second looksee!  Send me a PM if you want to talk sale or trade. SR

Re: Riveting Machine ?
I just got two of these for free from a guy i work with, I was wondering since i don't have access to a sand blaster do you think i could get ok results with sand paper and a whole lot of elbow grease? Or would it not be worth it and should i just try and sell them as is?

Re: Riveting Machine ?
Freebore, that press looks great. Do you have a before picture? And would you be available to restore my 1973 David Brown 955 tractor? ;-)

Re: Riveting Machine ?
What a lovely job,wish I could do it as well. Seeing the primer holder on the Tru-line, anyone know where I could get any,large and small primer holders,as it looks as if it will fit my Lyman AA ( All American Press Turret ) presses, which are getting to the end of their lives.

Wow!! You got some great presses there. Sandblasting is just the easiest way to strip off the old paint; there are plenty of other options. For the ones that you want to keep and use, I would go with a chemical stripper. The ones you want to sell, you can just wipe down with some Kroil and a sponge. Use a fine steel wool and Kroil gently on areas that have any rust. All of those presses will sell well, there's a good $300 worth of presses there; more if they're cleaned up and refinished. Ok, I just saw the presses that you posted pics of; they're in pretty good shape! Give them a good wipe down and degreasing; they've got plenty of life left in them.

Re: Riveting Machine ?
hahaha! Its funny how small the world is. I just got some of them dies for the Tru line jr. from a kid at work! His grate-granddad is 80 some years old and is just about to thow out a crap load of stuff. I am trading the kid ammo for the stuff. He is going to look for more this weekend and look to see if the press is still thier. If not i will probly be willing to sell the dies. I told the kid that i would teach him how to reload but he dont want anything to do with it he said " I will just buy the ammo." I thought to myself you wast the money and i will reload so you can buy it from me.
