Help ID this Commercial Sizer

[bjordan]

Hey Folks. I bought this sizer off ebay and it was delivered yesterday. The guy thought it was an early Magma Lube Master, but there is not a name on it. The collator also does not have a name and the collator is missing some small parts. I contacted Magma for the parts and Gene pointed me MA Systems. Ron Ayers at MA Systems says its not one of their collators and he doesn't recognize it. So, I sent pictures to Gene and he called me to tell the sizer is not a Magma unit. He doesn't remember the name of the company, but he thinks they were located in Michigan.



The company Gene can not remember the name of of the company was in business before Magma.

Does anyone have an idea of who made this sizer? It works well, I just need a few small parts for the collator.

Thanks!!

Quick update: This machine takes Star sizers. Did Star make a commercial unit?

If they did, it surprises me that Magma would not know about it as they acquired the star lube sizer patents and rights to make them.

That would make sense. I am stumped that this machine take Star sizers though. I installed a .452" Star sizer die in it earlier this afternoon.

If they did, it surprises me that Magma would not know about it as they acquired the star lube sizer patents and rights to make them.

If Michigan, might this be Camdex?

The lube-sizer was made by Reloader's Equipment, located in Michigan.. Sizer is from the mid 60's.. I have one of these machines that I converted many years ago to process the bases (bulge removal) of all of my rimless cases, 380, 9mm, 40, 10mm and 45 Auto.. Never used the machine to actually lube and size bullets.

Thanks for the information Starreloader. Do you know if Reloader's Equipment was bought out by another company? Any chance you have any parts that you don't use that you would want to get rid of? Know of any part sources or who made the collator?

Thanks again.
