I got an older Lyman "All American" Turret Press and broke the shell plate adapter! Been all over the internet looking for one. Does anyone know where I can get parts???

They've always been very helpful whenever I've needed to call them. Hasn't been often, but they answer when their phone rings, and are courteous as well.

Is this a progressive press? Seems that I recall it being very similar to what Hornady has made for a number of years. Parts interchangeable?
 
Re: Lyman Turret Press Parts HELP!!!

Thanks for the replies. No, I havn't called them. Thought I would try here first. I hate calling. You never know what you're gonna get on the other end.

If you call and they DON'T help you, all you're out is the phone call.

With Lyman, it won't be much.
 
Re: Lyman Turret Press Parts HELP!!!

Shakey, there was at one time a company called (I think) South Shelton (or Sheldon) Enterprises that sold a lot of obsolete Lyman stuff. I believe I got their contact info from Lyman (years ago -- pre internet days -- yes I am that old, babies).

Edited to add: Got my curiosity up, but I couldn't find shelton enterprises, but Lyman catalogs the J to X adapter if this is what broke. This opens a pdf file so it is a slow load. Look near the bottom of page 10...
