I understand exactly where you are coming from. Some time ago I had to retire my old Pacific 3-ram press for just the same reasons you mentioned. I bought it used somewhere around 1970. Talk about service!! Countless rounds thru dozens of dies. But, like you, I can't bring myself to part with it. It's sitting out in the garage on a workbench looking sad. Kinda like deserting an old friend you had so many good times with... I wouldn't sell it to anyone because it's worn out, but I'll be darned if the garbage man is gonna haul it off.
