Hmmmm? Can't help you there, JohnB!
I have a brown Herter's "Super Model 3" laying unused on the floor, but I doubt it has a compatible handle. (Likewise...a Lyman "Tru-Line Junior")

That looks like a rugged press indeed.
Nope, not even close to the Herter's though.
It looks as if you could easily fabricate some workable handle, if RCBS can't help you

RCBS has a lifetime warranty, contact them, bet they have what you need.
I just got a RCBS single stage and they still have all the parts, upgrades, and even though I got it used, customer service was great about getting me directions for the whole mess.
