RCBS Lube-a-Matic
I have just acquired an RCBS Lube-a-Matic without any dies. Are they worth hanging on to or should I throw it in the bin?

Re: RCBS Lube-a-Matic
I am missing a couple of parts, is there a good source of spares here in the UK, the parts are related to the pressure screw and cap and are probably easy enough to make if I knew what they were.

CDSG do spare parts. There's a part schematic here:

Or try RCBS in the US, they sent me some small parts FOC for my press, which I had bought secondhand.

Re: RCBS Lube-a-Matic
I just stripped it down over a cup of coffee and I am not sure anything is missing. This is the original as opposed to the mk2 and I assume all it has on the reservoir is a threaded rod and a piston with two O rings and a spanner is used to adjust the pressure of the lube. The later ones have a tommy bar system which makes sense and no doubt this one could be so modified if I felt so inclined.

Re: RCBS Lube-a-Matic
The older Lubamatics use a Chapman wrench like the Lymans, far superior to the money shaving cross piece with the plastic balls that continually fall off brought in on the "improved" LAM2.

Re: RCBS Lube-a-Matic
The flats across the screw on mine are mangled so I will sort it out one lunchtime so I can use it. I really do need to reorganise my reloading area as I have a couple of presses that have been moved and not yet bolted down yet. Something for the darker months :)
