Star Lubricator & Resizers / Re: Lubrisizer value???

"I am very familiar with self the proclaimed #1 authority on all things Star. I have corresponded with him, and have even purchased a number of parts from him for my Star Reloaders.  I grant that he has some considerable knowledge in the area, but he also has an agenda..ie selling his now mostly depleted stock of Star Parts and Machines.   As I mentioned before, I have never owned a Magma Engineering Lubesizer, but I have purchased a number of parts from them, and those parts were identical to Star parts and not deficient in any way."
  I bow to your experience.I have not had any experience with "Fitz" and took his posts at face value.

RB,
 You are right about the "blue painted parts" not being magnetic.
 The sizer I have appears to be like the one on the right in your picture,though mine is a little dirtier than yours.

Quote from the #1 Star expert:


The Magma company has simplified the Star design and uses aluminum instead of the original Star Cast Iron in their version of the Star luber and modified it for high volume production with air pressure and heated for using hard lubes for bullet casting businesses.

Star Lubricator & Resizers / Lubrisizer value???

 I'm getting up in years and have decided to get rid of some stuff that I no longer use.
 I have an older Star Lubrisizer that I was planning on listing on eBay during the winter.
 I haven't used it for many years,but it is in good user condition.It is cast iron and not aluminum like the Magma's.
  I also have 7 sizing dies for .357,38 Spec,30 caliber,and 45 caliber.
  I would appreciate comments on what it is worth.
