this one has one minus the feed tube, which is just a metal tube that the bullets are stacked in.

This one has a feeder on it:

I looked at all the YouTube videos as well. I am looking for a pic that shows everything at once. No one shows the entire machine in one frame for some reason.

Have you looked at the manual/pdf it shows the drawing of the parts with descriptions.

in that picture everything is there except the metal tube that drops in the rectangular block in the foreground.
you adjust the tube up and down for the boolit size [length] you use.

you can also make the plastic feeder tubes from clear plastic tubing available from your local plumbing supply store.
1/2 id for the 375-41-44-45 stuff.
and 3/8ths id for the 30 through 35 cal stuff.
you also need the correct size slides for the different diameters.
the slide moves the boolit from the tube to the size die.

Here is a pic of mine.

And another video. It has the official sizer and two home made versions.

Here's mine with the feeder.

If I were to post a pic of mine it would be in the box. I saw no advantage to it and in fact felt it was a disadvantage unless you have a collator to feed it.

My collator is my kids. They load my CPVC feed tubes and they sometimes pump the handle for me.

One big advantage of the feeder is that it keeps your fingers away from the punch.
You get moving in an organized fashion and develop a rhythm and you THINK nothing can go wrong. That's when you get hurt. I've done it.
I've seen a number of posts where the operator admitted to having caught his finger and injured himself. One fella on this list talked about the .452 arc he cut out of one of his fingers which the ER Dr had to sew up.
I feed my fill tube at my leisure and don't have to worry about pinched/cut fingers. If I can't keep up with it, I simply don't worry about that. My physical health is more important than some arbitrary rate.
Do a google search for injuries and deaths to people using presses which have/had FOOLPROOF safety interlocks which the fools defeated bcuz they knew nothing would happen to THEM !
And our Star sizers don't have any safety interlocks.
