Unknown lubesizer

[Theunsb]

Is it possible to identify this press?
Only part on name plate that I can still read appears to be "...fornia" and "R14"..
Help will be appreciated.
Thank you.:smile:

Totally out of my realm, I would have guessed Ideal, but when you said that it says "fornia" on it , my guess now is Saeco.

Someone in the know will be along soon.

Looks like an old Saeco Lubrisizer. They are still made.

[HeavyMetal]

Yep A Saeco most likely made in Carpenteria and it's been used hard someone broke the handle off it!

Figure they were trying to use a hard lube in cold weather, LOL, but it may have just been dropped.

Still made by Redding parts will fit.

This machine is way better than any Lyman or RCBS and is only surpassed by the Star.

Keep it and use it with Joy.

[VHoward]

Yes, Talk to Redding about a new handle for it and use the snot out of it.

LUBEDUDE, VHOWARD and HeavyMetal thank you for the help. From the picture supplied it is identical to the SAECO by Redding except black with age or heavy use.
I will approach Redding by mail today and see if they can help with that part.
I paid about $30 for it in RSA currency. Lube is indeed very "thick" and I will have to cook it out.
