[QUOTE="Kevin Rohrer, post: 530068, member: 1260"] I didn't worry about any neutralization beyond rinsing in cold water and then letting them soak for awhile in more water. I read a post elsewhere that powdered lemon aide drink mix is almost all citric acid, but pound for pound, I will bet that the tub is cheaper than packs of Kool Aid. Thanx. The one in the rear is a Hollywood Universal Model-III Special with three turrets (12-stations). The one in the foreground with the decapper die is a Hollywood Universal Model-B or Model-II, depending on when it was made. This press, due to its unique body shape, is allegedly 1 of 100 made before Lyle Corcoran (owner of Hollywood who bought out the Universal line >WW2) changed the shape. The one on the left that you can barely see is a Hollywood Senior Turret (8-stations). I also own a Hollywood Senior (single-station) that is out of the picture. And they were all in pretty sad shape when I got them. I disassembled them, degreased, scoured with Scotchbrite pads soaked in Breakfree to remove the rust and crud, then lubed, and reassembled. I didn't add any paint. The presses are so simple in design and well made, they will still be working a 1000-years from now. I updated the Bench Picture topic with pics of mine. [/QUOTE]
