8-12 weeks...Yikes! I guess I will bid.

Thanks!

Let us know how it goes, I do have a source for refurbished Star products and since i've bought a lube/sizer from him. What I got was darn near new and I just ordered another Universal.

Know of someone that's refurbishing Star equipment. Does nice work. I've got a lube sizer and have ordered a Universal.

Seems someone's once again trying to restart Star... but no word yet and frankly I'm partial to the ones made by the original Star.

I have a very old star branded lube sizer that the cavity that holds the dies is leaking lube. It basically has lots of miles on it and could use an overhaul. I would buy a new one, but they are extrodinarily unavil. Anyone know someone that servies them? Please email or message me.

The lube is leaking past the top of the die??
its just a oring

I think mine was before o rings or the last owner didnt tell me to use them. Also its leaking out of the bottom through a groove in the aluminum base that was cause by the previous owner.

Magma Engineering is the current manufacturer if you can't find a used one reasonable. http://www.magmaengineering.com/comp...ners/click/14/

Also, the Lyman base heater is drilled and tapped for it. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/182...eater-115-volt

First, this thread is about the Lubrisizer, not the reloading press.

Second, Star never went out of business. Reloading equipment was always a sideline for them, they stopped making the presses years ago, more recently they sold the rights to the Lubrisizer to Magma. Star's primary business is commercial irrigation equipment which they are still doing to this day.

If someone is attempting to start making the Star reloading press (I hadn't heard that) more power to them, success will depend on the quality/price of the finished product.

NOW you tell me! Oh well..I'll keep practicing my ninjer moves.

You going to the SC State match in Charleston?

[HATCH]

No. I don't have barely enough time to make boolits.

I put in a new alarm in the shop just because of post like yours.
Its got a hardline with a cell backup. It also does wifi alert too.
I even put in battery backup good for two days.

I recommend some cameras that will email pictures whenever they detect motion. Among others, I currently use one of these:

They can be had cheaper, especially for those that are indoors.

I also recommend the phone app:

I had someone come into my driveway on a Sunday afternoon and steal a $5K enclosed trailer. There were several cars in the driveway and I was in the house taking a nap after that morning's match. I got the cameras after that and have only succeeded in catching one of the kids getting a beer out of the refrigerator in the basement.
