I have seen ONE Hollywood press in my life, a "rescued" one from Jensen's Custom Ammunition years ago, and it was a rotating stage style. It was also HUGE and heavy. Can you post pics?

There are a couple members that collect that brand. Hopefully they will be along and have helpful info to pass on.

armoredman, would that be Jenson's Custom Ammunition in Tucson?

Does this Hollywood press have a universal shell holder or does it require separate shell holders for individual calibers? Seems there were a group of them that had interchangeable holders. Hollywood and C-H come to mind. They turn up on ebay all the time.
Beyond that, looks pretty straight forward.

Hollywood Engineering burned down a few years ago. Last I heard, Joe was trying to rebuild it.
He should just sell the name to someone that can do the work and get the company back on it's feet.
When I first heard of them (20 years ago) Joe wasn't a spring chicken and always had an excuse for why everything was behind. If you lived here in SoCal and could drive to the shop, he would take care of you. Otherwise, you got in something of a line like everyone else.

Oh ok. That would be awesome to go right there and get a manual! But I live in upstate NY about 15 mins away from the PA border. Won't be making out that way anytime soon. Lol
