I'm speechless. Are parts of that powered by compressed air?Is it a "Rube Goldberg" machine or is it serious?
Man thats some set up, looks like You could get lost in that thing!
That thing looks like it would take an engineer or machinist to keep it running. While it is one of the more interesting set ups I’ve seen I’d have to say, thanks but no thanks.

Some where between here and there.....
After seeing a set of used Lee RGB 30-06 dies recently go for $45.00 I'm glad to see a semblance of sanity return to Ebay. I'm sure if this was relisted sombody would purchase it 'tho.
I'm assuming this is from an estate sale. If so makes one wonder what the deceased's casue of death was!
For the Love of God People!! It's A TURRET Press not a TURRENT Press!!
Deleted 'cause I was STUPID!
That thing looks like it came out of the Wille Wonka Factory!
We should keep a photo of this contraption near at hand. In the event SWMBO ever questions a tool aquisition, such a photo would reassure her of the relative simplicity and affordability of our mainstream impliments.
It looks to me like a LOT would be going on at once with that thing. It makes a Dillon 1050 look positively simple.
I don't paint bullets. I like Black Rifle Coffee. Sacred cows are always fair game. California is to the United States what Syria is to Russia and North Korea is to China/South Korea/Japan--a Hermit Kingdom detached from the real world and led by delusional maniacs, an economic and social basket case sustained by "foreign" aid so as to not lose military bases.
Not "Rube Goldberg" but "Heath Robinson", his UK cousin!

looks like something off the Red Green show to me!!
Looks like something that anyone of us should pick up, if for nothing else than to tear it apart and use the pieces seperately. For sure I see a Lyman case trimmer which would run close to 50 bucks. The deburring/chamfering contraption looks like it would come in handy having that powered. You also have a powder measure, and a couple of electric motors that would come in handy to hook up to a hand crank meat grinder. Possibilities are endless!!!

Hey, it's only $424 to ship to me!

Hey (redneck)Dan, check out my "WC820" thread in the Surplus Data forum. Might be doing a group buy on powder. Might be able to hit the range Sunday and talk but not for too long. We're finally moving in. Wonder if the guys would want to get in on it. Ask around. I'll have it shipped to me and run it down to Houghton.[/hijack]
There is one assembly I can't figure out.
The case trimmer is turned by the motor (so that's electrical) and it is advanced to do the cutting by that cylinder on the right (so that part is hydraulic or pneumatic).
The case chamfering station is electric motor driven, with those two 'guards' there to kill power to the cutters if a hand gets too close.
The powder measure is chain driven by the long cylinder behind it, and I assume one stroke of the cylinder drops one powder charge...but I could be wrong. Adjusting the stroke of the cylinder might adjust the weight of the charge.
Then there is that fourth 'assembly'. You'd expect to see 'something' that seats a bullet in a case, but I haven't found that...and if it's in that fourth assembly, it's certainly well hidden.
The guy who invented that setup must have been as insane as the guy who invented the hay baler...

Retired...TWICE. Now just raisin' cows and livin' on borrowed time.
He reposted it
I looked at where it is located
If it is where I think , it is 10 miles from my house
I emailed the seller as to where he lives
If he is local , I plan on bidding $50
Could probely return most of the parts to manual use and sell them off
If I get it
I will post detailed pic's

John,
I don't know where you are in N.W. Ohio, but I looked the city he has listed up on Mapquest, and he about a half hour or a bit more east of Wooster, pretty much straight south of Canton. I thought of doing the same thing as you, bid low and get some stuff for cheap.

Oh, it says it's in Navarre, OH

His zip code is 44662
About 2 1/2 hrs from me , as I live just outside Genoa Oh ( 15 min east of Toledo )
Have to think about it
But it would be interesting to take a good look at the mad reloaders set up
I was hoping he listed Navarre as the street he lived on

I looked through all the pictures but didn't see a flux capacitor.

It would make a great visual aid for a mechanical engineering class.
e.g. The possibilities are only limited by our imaginations. The good, the bad and the ugly with respect to industrial design, etc
It also brings to mind the British TV show "Junkyard Wars". I loved that show.
