Saeco Tools By JP Jones

Do any of you use the Saeco lubrisizer? I picked one up in a reloading deal but it did not come with directions on how to use it. How hard should the adjustments be to turn? I can't get the cap off to add lube with my hands, Should this need pliers or is this one to tight? Which direction does the lube pressure lever go to add pressure to the lube and how much is enough? I understand it is spring loaded, so I am wondering if it needs just a little pressure or much more than a RCBS or Lyman?
If your Saeco luber is green ask Redding/Saeco
If it is black I may have first sold it and could dig for some original instructions in my files. It sounds like you need to heat it up with a hair dryer or set it in a steel bucket with a spotlight or hundred watt light for a time with a non flammable bucket cover. The lid should go on clockwise and the lube handle the same. number of turns depends on the lube used so count your well lubed bullets. I sold more Star lubers than Saeco to my police and civilian bullseye competitors who wanted the best high volume equipment to win matches. I sold H&G molds only for volume output for gun clubs and police departments for general training but Saeco's for men who wanted the winning.
I really loved Saeco and spent a lot of time there studying every machining proceedure, working and looking over the Cramer bullet mold cherry cutter inventory to see what I wanted modified for my own sales. I was a lifetime competitor and wanted to provide the best available tools for competitors no matter the brand. I made all of my bullet designs for my Star customer bevel base then convinced Star to make me flat punches for nose first sizing over their objections of loss of cutting nose punch income. With them 2 years behind in their orders? So that really simplified my inventory and drastically speeded up lubesizing.
I had package deals of Seaco lead hardness testers, 1,000 watt bottom pour lead pots, 4 cavity Molds with handles, Star Lubers, Star Reloaders or more affordable C-H Auto Champs and the original Saeco green bullet lube.
I have some California Saeco Original instructions that I soon plan to copy if desired.
I sold lower volume Saeco lubers too and have about a hundred original new sizing dies .2240 to .5875, a few top punches of original Saeco designs still used by Redding and I will sell individually or all. Plus two new Saeco double C clamps for the Luber to sell. 2 #24 bottom pour pots good used.
Just a thought. Bob made 45/70 molds in one, two and rarely three cavities. I convinced him that I wanted to sell nothing but 4 cavity molds and really enjoyed selling 4 cav 45/70 300 gr, 344 gr and 405 gr molds to happy customers as the Meehanite metal did not overheat. I felt the 500 grain bullets were to punishing to shoot accurately in matches.
