Stars Want to Sell/Want to Buy / Re: WTB - Star Heated Base
« Last post by Calamity.James on December 17, 2024, 09:05:17 am »
Thanks, Scott.  I already own one of the RCBS heaters which I use with my SAECO luber.  I'm pretty sure the RCBS doesn't have a hole for mounting the mounting block for the Star bullet feeder, it just has the three holes to mount the sizer and not the fourth hole for the mounting block.  So, I thought I'd try to find a used Star heated base to use with my Star lube/sizer.

The RCBS Lube-A-Matic (LAM) Heater has the Star greaser bolt pattern on it. Look at page 7 in link below.

Have you sold the bullet feeder?  I'd be very interested in buying it from you.

Thinking of one and wrote the other.

Thanks for the correction.

Green paint on a Star?
Thought that was a Phelps thing.

You might be thinking of CPM.  I have never seen a Phelps in anything but blue.

Greetings,

The plastic tubes may have been for the Hulme case feeder.

Cheers,

It's a very early machine.  There is a lighter green primer under the green paint, so I'm pretty sure the green is original.    I have another Star with a cast iron base and that one is Blue, but I can see traces of black paint under the blue on all three of the painted parts.   Black, like the picture from American Rifleman is what I would have expected for this time period.

Although according to the 1934 American Rifleman article the Universal model was available at that time, the Universal base on this machine is a later addition.   I can't tell if it was an original Universal with a newer Universal base or if it was originally a Progressive.

Notice that they have already moved away from the Pipe T used for the crankshaft assembly.
