Well after getting my 2 C&H's, a Dunbar and cast steel Hollywood senior shorty, I just picked up a cast steel Tallboy. What a beast!!! Now to sell a few of my newer ones......
Couldn't pass up an old Lyman all american comet today. Maybe it's a mistake because I intend to resurrect and use the old beast. Are shell holders special for this old red press? It has 2 set screws at top of the ram instead of a T slot and appears to have an adapter installed for 7/8 dies
Before you break into my house stand outside and get right with Jesus tell him you're on your way!!
The Lyman Comet s a small beast! The bushing for 7/8X14 dies comes out to allow you to load shot shells with Lyman’ properietary dies (that don’t match anyone else’s) and the press takes J type shell holders. The former is of no concern since you have the bushing, but the latter will require searching for the special shell holders or the adaptor and special primer punch if you want to use “modern” shell holders. It’s a pretty under appreciated press and has these two quirks, but it is actually a very good press.

Only thing I own would be considered old presses. Collect ? No, but that is what I use.
