Is there a source for this information? I checked the History thread but did not find this information. I had a Star (that I greatly regret having sold in a time of austerity) and would like to know which model it was so I can look for a replacement.
Thank you,
Richard

http://www.starreloaders.com/The reloader parts are illustrated in two columns in order to distinguish the relative positions of the many parts.
The parts terminating with the letter “U” fit the Universal or adaptable tool only. All other parts are interchangeable. For example, the steel floor base for the .38 caliber tool is #12. Same part for the Universal or adaptable tool is #12U. Buller seater #20 is for the 38 and 32 caliber and #20U is for larger calibers which would be used on the Universal tool.
The Universal Reloader is distinguished from the Progressive Reloader by three No. 79U Shell Base Locating Straps on the Steel Floor Base and Powder Slide Housing marked OO.
The parts terminating in an asterisk (*) should be assembled at our factory where we have the necessary jigs and tools. #49 may be installed by purchaser, but will need to be fitted.
To adjust: Bend part #49 toward column shaft or vice versa until primer slide stops gently against the column shaft when the tool head is at the bottom of its travel.
When ordering #71 or #27 specify “O” (¼ inch thick) or “OO” (5/16 inch thick), give description of powder and number of grains desired.
When ordering dies and bullet punches for the Lubricator and Resizer specify maker’s name of mould and bullet number of send sample bullet.
Specify all details, including desired caliber, when ordering parts whose dimensions are determined by caliber.
If numerous parts of your tool are worn, we suggest sending it to us for an estimate on rebuilding it.
