    Is this a Hollywood press?

    I saw this press at the local auction and I could not find a manufactures name on it. Is it a Hollywood, if so what model? What would be a fair price to pay?
    The powder measure is a Dillon.

    A really great price is anything under $300.00.

    The star is missing several pieces. Are there replacement parts available for it? If there are, what would be a good price for it in it's current condition

    Are there enough parts remaining on the Star to even restore? Yes it's still available.

    The Star is a $450 press fully complete and functional. You can get it running for much less. Personally, I would jump on the Star as long as it stayed below $200

    Thanks for your replies on the value of these two presses. I was the winning bidder on both, at under $100.00 each. It was my lucky day.
    I am looking forward to getting the Star running. After watching youtube, I may only need a powder tube and a seater die, it's already set up for 38 spl, which is what I wanted it for.

    You might wish to go over to the Star Reloading Tools forum and get hooked up with Bruce Williams (rbwillnj) and ask about the parts you need. He is the current owner of Star and stocks a good supply of parts.

    After viewing some videos about the Star, I now think I only need the powder tube and empty case holder tube. It has all the 38 spl dies. It will replace my Tru Line Jr which had been my dedicated 38 wad cutter press. Thanks Frog, I have looked at that site.

    Dramworx makes an awesome powder hopper that fits the Star Press.
