Today I picked up a Hocking Valley cider press. The wooden stand is junk but the grinder, gears, press screw, and hardware are in good shape. It’s missing the hopper and the baskets.

I did a little searching and I believe it’s the Senior Model. I plan on using it for cider and pressing grapes.

The hopper is all wood except for an adjustable metal plate to set the throat size so it shouldn’t be too hard to make one. This should be a good winter project!

Like most old machines this thing is built like a tank!

Does anyone here have any restoration advice?
