A neighbor, knowing I like guns, gave me his late father's reloader.  It's a Lyman All American Press "Turret".

I am only just now going to stick it in google, but I figure you guys will be able to give me info faster than I can look it up.

I guess I was wrong.

try the reloading forum and clarify what information you're looking for.  It's a turret press, it's made by Lyman

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it takes 310 (nutcracker) dies.
(edit) I just checked that, and I was wrong. I was thinking of the Tru-Line Jr. Yours is a newer press that takes standard 7/8-34 dies.

I'm going to have to dig it out of the garage and clean it up.

From the looks of it I have: a powder measure, primer tubes, one set of 38spl dies, on a rotating turret.  I couldn't find any other information on the reloader then in my original post.

How do I clean this off?  It's got 10 years of shop-crud caked on it.

Brake cleaner, kerosene, powder solvent, RB-17 for any rust.  I'd completely disassemble and clean/lube.

YIKES!

Ok, now I need to find a manual for the thing.  Otherwise I'll have a reloader on the EE selling it as individual components ... slightly scratched and dented.
