Several years ago I became the owner of a C V Schmitt #24 press. It was part of a lot of reloading stuff from an estate. I really had no desire to own it, but wanted some of the other items, so I bought the lot. I wanted to include a couple of pics, but they would not load to the sight. (Seems like everytime I try to load pics here, it is a long involved process for me to figure it out, and then by the next time I have forgotten what I had to do. Need a twelve year old to help me out.)
Anyway, I am trying to obtain some more info on it, and assume that those of you with knowledge of these units will know what they are. For those who don't, it is a heavy, cast unit, with lots of engineering and mechanics, operates on a horizontal plane, includes a primer feed, almost for sure uses proprietary dies and weighs something over 25 pounds.
I found an old thread here, but it did not give a lot of info. There are two of them currently listed on ebay for what I $750 and $1000, but are a set price, and not auction, so I am sure is someone fishing for somebody with more money than sense.
Am wondering if any of your smart folks have any knowledge or experience with this unit, if there is a practical use for it, and if not, would like to try to come up with a realistic ball park value, and if the Classified and Sellin pages here are a good place to market it, or if there might be a better option, or another site to gain more info on it. My online searches have not lead me anywhere worthile.
Thanks again for any help,
Jackpine
