What kind of press is this?

[Jimfern]

It looks like some kind of progressive press that moves the cartridge down to the right, but I can't make out a brand on it. I'd appreciate any help identifying it.

Looks like you have the bones of a CH Autochamp there. It appears to be missing a bunch of things like powder measure, priming tube system, case feed tubes, it looks like the case feed turret is there however (on left). Autochamps were made in several generations, through Mk 5. They were generally set up to load a single caliber, 38, 45 ACP and 9 mm most common. Caliber changeovers were a PAIN. Hope you have the rest of it, the parts will be hard to find. Good luck.

In their day they were a great press! Still are!

One just sold on ebay. For way to much. Parts are unavailable for those. They are similar to the RCBS Green Machine. I had a Green Machine once, they will load a lot of ammo fast, but take a lot of fiddlin' to get and keep them running. Caliber conversions are difficult, or in the case of the Green Machine virtually impossible. RCBS only sold conversion kits for a very short time and stopped, too many guys couldn't get them working again.

Thanks for the info. I haven't bought it yet, but I downloaded the manual and will see if I can get out to see it and work out a price if it's complete.

Not sure of the make (a few differen mfgs. in 50s and 60s), but it looks like a C-H 4 station "H" press. Not really progressive, as you manually moved the case from station to station.

Looks like CH still sells parts for them:

If parts are available then hey, go for it! I looked for some parts for a friend once and couldn't find any, but that was long enough ago I guess I should have checked.

These presses are fine if you have the mechanical aptitude and patience.
