You guys already know I like the older reloading equipment due to its quality. I already have a 3 station CH press, and yesterday i found this single stage in a local antique mall--got it for $35

You'd be amazed what a little elbow grease will do to old presses. Usually they are in great shape, but covered in powder/lube/oil/dust/etc. Typically I dissassemble them as far as I can, and clean all the pieces with something like simple green cleaner. Once I have all the heavy stuff off... (here's the tricky part)
When the wife is not home, you take all the pieces and load them in the dishwasher--run it for a full heavy cycle . The parts will come out remarkably clean. Sometimes the paint fades a little due to the heat--I have an old original rockchucker that is more of a minty green due to this process.

That's a cool looking design, sorta looks like the hydraulic axle press in my garage, but smaller.
