Star on Ebay.
« on: December 03, 2009, 10:00:31 pm »
There is a nice star on ebay, start bid of $ 800.00

What is in the photos is a copy of a document from Gil Hebard about Star die adjustment.

I think Bruce (RBWillNJ) on this site did a cut and paste from an auction before and copied it here.
Maybe he can do this also and share the results. I am going to ask and try but not sure of result.

OK, Here it is,   But that's a really heavy taper crimp, I don't know that I agree.

The powder shut off on that machine is very nice, and should be pretty easy to make.  Does anyone know if this was offered for commercial sale by someone or is it a one off.

PS,  This machine is actually a Phelps with a Star tool Head

Looks like a good winter project.  I'll see if I can put together a prototype after the holidays.  I like the design of this powder shutoff better than others I have seen.

Just logged in to see if anyone knew anything about that powder shut-off.  I was impressed too.
