I have grand-dad's old wine press (used perhaps for some "home" winemaking processes during Prohibition - great history) and I'm essentially in the same boat as you, Beerman. I want to use it as a cider press (both kinds!) but it's been getting gnarly in my backyard for a long time in the weather. (Plus I am missing the "masher" part. )
