With all The question Raised on Lachmiller " PowerHouse Press" . I always Claimed there were more That the one or two that has surfaced. some Claimed that those were only Protype and none were truly made. As i said before Lachmiller was producing and selling machines. Well here is the one I picked up complete with matching primer Catcher
It is in Vg condition . as stated where there is 4 there are more
Please view enclosedAttachment 279775
That's a fine looking press and rare. Can you pull the pin that holds the primer catcher to remove it? Mr. Dillon must have liked that color ;^)
The pin is non Removable . the catcher just lifts up
It may just be the picture but I'm surprised they didn't clean up the casting a little more before painting (sharp edges and fill holes).
Lachmiller was a good outfit, they made some excellent dies. It's a shame they went under.
Actually Lachmiller did Not Go under. RCBS made them an Offer They could not Refuse.. Lachmiller sold all his patents and designs to Rcbs . Lachmiller sold most of the remaining Inventory to Penguin Industries Glendale Ca. Then Penguin Industries. Coatesville, PA. Penguin Is still in business @ the same location but not in reloading
i have two of their 12 ga shotgun resizer-decapping presses that work very well, i use then to resize cases after five fireings.
What about the Hollywood press in the background?
The Hollywood in the picture is an very early Senior press. I moved it to fit the Powerhouse in place. Just running out of room
I might have room on my bench for that Hollywood!Quote:
