Now that surprises me with you amigo. You are a bonifide Hollywood Guru. :-) However, it is nice to pop across a new item or issue when doing HW research, eh? I had these in my bin for a few years...

Kevin, Check the 1959 ( and other) Hollywood Gun SHop Catalogs. Here is the page in the 1959 HW catalog.

Shotgun case Ironers. Found some of these in the bottom of a storage bin that I had not been through.201052

Lyle Corcoran / Hollywood Gun Shop had one in the 50's. :-)

Below is a link showing the model lathe used to turn the column on the monolithic Senior Turret base. This would include the Senior Single tall boy, 20mm and all automatic type presses with the...

Mark, Having the Senior Turret bolted down is the best way to clean and service it. Pull it apart completely, clean all parts, and lube liberally. It is a very easy press to disassemble. Put a piece...

Good Evening Kevin,

If your press had no large letter, sand cast, markings on the left, right, or both sides of the base, I would say it was M&M Engineering/ (later years) Hollywood Engineering,...

Congrats on your find Mark. You do not have to remove the center set screw to remove the cap. Just loosen it. Unscrew the large cast cap above the turret counter-clockwise. The threads are large . It...

Earl, PM sent. I have the original 3/4 to 1/2 shell holder bushings in stock.

Thanks Lube for the plug. I have Hollywood numbers 1,2,3,4,6, ($16) 50 BMG ($35) and the Universal shell holder adapter ( $35 or $42 with the 1/2 to 3/4 bushing) All in stock and standard USPS...

Very nice complete, original example of a very rare ( as you know ) Hollywood Super-Turret Reloading press. Congratulations and kudos for your tenacity. I know you have been beating the pavement for...

I can help you with most of the parts ( shell holders, etc.) Let me know what you require. What are the molded markings on each side of your press? I hope you bought it. :-)

Rick,

Did you get your Universal III yet. Pix !!!! ??

Chris, With the proper shell carrier adapter, it can be used for resizing also. Those adapters are in short supply, but I may have some available in the near future. They bolt to the shell...

I dont know how I overlooked this post. Sorry for the late thread revival. Jim Whitney owned Center-X and was the second owner of the Hollywood inventory. He purchased close out inventory from Lyle...

It cant be true. Lube, you bought another one? :bigsmyl2:

EDG,, That is possibly true, but you may have missed the point. This is a collectible item. The value is in its vintage and rarity. You can very easily reproduce an old colt handgun with todays cnc...

Grasslander,

There are many models, however, most are built on two variations only. The Super and Turret Tool are all built on a similar design as the universal series of presses. The Metallic...

Mica, The second link is of a Hollywood Turret Tool. The first link is "THE" Hollywood Super Turret. It is one of the rare ( limited production ) presses that Hollywood Gun Shop produced. It is not...

The press handle is included. Check sellers comments.

Woefully ??? Really ?? Not sure I agree, or understand the use of that adverb here. :-) The original turret handles are missing and also the swage bar set. Other than that, It looks like an easily...

Beeser,

I dont believe there were any steel units. I am not sure how to be 100% positive though. I have the original sand molds and they were used to produce aluminum presses. If a steel Super...

SUPER TURRET PRODUCTION

I am not sure how many were actually made and sold. Here is a start.

I knew I saw a picture of this before. After much search, It was a B&W in my archives.

Now it is time for someone to "fess" up !! Will the owner of this HW Roundel please stand up ??? :-)

Dave,

That is a very nice SUPER TURRET. Cant even begin to imagine its value. Looks real nice. I will have to stop by in May and have a real look.
