Are those legs threaded or does the press work while free standing? Thanks

Time Machine stuff for sure...........
I’m guessing CH shell holders, they have a threaded stem that goes through the holes in the base and a nut behind to tighten them down…
Just checked and darn if they are not still in business! Now instead of dedicated cartridge shell holders they make a “universal” one that uses modern shell holders like RCBS.
Loaded lots of rounds on one of their “H” presses in my days of youth hanging at the local gun store that had a loading room for customer’s use… Worry about being sued by someone that was stupid in their loading practice would prohibit anything like that today but this was back in the mid 60’s-70’s…
Fits many CH, Hollywood, & Dunbar presses. Accepts industry standard snap-in shell holders.

Yes, you can see the threaded holes in the press head…

And you can tell what size the threaded holes are by looking at that picture?
Pretty much by looking at the posted picture of the press and seeing the holes in the movable top piece and judging the dimensions of the holes compared to it’s self.
Plus, 7/8” x14 has been an industry standard for more than 50 years… Aside from Lee Loader hand tools, those dies are specific to those tools though you can buy adaptors to use them in a regular press {7/8”x14}

Can you answer the questions asked above please? Or provide better photos of the areas that guys are asking about? Maybe screw in a modern die to see f it is 7/8x14?
Would you please reply to my PM from a few days ago? Thanks.
That would be handy for a seater and a factory crimp die.
You have a Lyman Ezy Loader press. It uses Lyman "J" shellholders and three die stations. The size die fits in the rear. Lyman used a special die as the die threads in from the bottom and the top of the die has to clear the linkage. Most dies of today will not fit without turning the top of the die body down.
The two front dies are for seating and expanding handgun caliber cases. DO NOT put a size die in the front as the lip will break, after all this is an aluminum press.
The right front die is also used for priming. There is a auto primer feed apparatus that fits to the side of the press, it requires a special shellholder with a "gate" to control feeding.
These things were offered for sale from 1953-57. there abouts. All were shipped in a steel tool box of sorts.
Those of us who used them called it the Quezy Loader. It is an interesting, if a bit odd, part of reloading tool history.
There are three versions, 1st was cast iron, 2nd was aluminum, 3rd is also aluminum with scallops for better die clearance.
A turret press version was proposed but never made it to market, the working model I have just has too many design flaws to be practical.
