Better keep those items. I have 2 of the old presses, 1969 & 1974, and love them both. Call RCBS- you can get a new handle with the ball instead of the 'bicycle' style. More comfortable to use. They will also send you a new pin to go through the bottom of the handle with clips on both ends. The tapered pin that came on them would occasionally back out. RCBS customer service has always been great.
