Is this the Corona Mill?

Hello everyone,
This may be a silly question but I want to make sure I get the right one if I end up buying one. Is this the Corona mill that people are using?

I've been doing AG for awhile now and want to get into grinding my own grain but have a pretty tight budget. This one for sale is usually $100 but it's down to $27 now so I want to jump on it if it's the right one.

What do you think?

Thanks

Someone else will likely chime in, but I'm fairly certain the Victoria mill is being used by a number of people.

That is a commonly used one and afaik the Victory is one of many Corona "style" mills. I have one that looks exactly the same. I got it for a Christmas present so I don't know which mine is and I threw out the box a long time ago.

BTW those are ALWAYS available in the $25 - $35 range

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the quick feedback.

They are typically in the $25-35 range however they typically do not come with free shipping. Shipping is pretty high on those due to weight. I was going to purchase one earlier this year and after shipping the total would have been close to $65. I went ahead and bought a cheap roller mill instead.

Yup, that's the one.

That's the same one I've got. Works great.

Yep, as others have already indicated, that's a Corona-type mill.
If you use eBay and are patient, you can usually find one for around that price with shipping in a week or so.

Ordered it today with Amazon Prime free shipping and I should have it on my doorstep sometime on Friday. Looking forward to grinding my own grain. Now to do some research on a bigger hopper build and station for it.

Thanks again everybody.

That's not a victoria mill, it's a Chinese knockoff. Victoria mills are made in Columbia I believe.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001D6KETC/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This is the mill I have used for several years with good results. The price they list here is pretty high. I think you can find one for about 50 bucks if you search a bit.

Victoria mills are good, but the one that's showed in pictures at that link is NOT a Victoria mill. If you do get what you're looking for it's in a red box and much of the instructions are in Portuguese I love mine, sometimes the grind seems a little fine but I like to go by the maxim (forget who said ) that you should grind it till you're scared.

Chinese knockoff or not it will work great! I have the one from amazon and it works well 80% effeciency with no stuck sparges

I bought that exact mill a few months ago. I added two washers as spacers to make my crush less fine and I've been consistently getting 75% efficiency .

I have the same mill. Bought it from Discount Tommy . . . $24.95 shipped. It's not a precision item, but it works great!

You should take a look at this thread for 151 pages of info on Corona mills and mods for them.

I'm about 20 pages into the Ugly Junk thread. Good stuff! I used my mill this weekend after adding the washers and replacing the kog pin. The crushed looked great; far better then my LHBS's crush. Ended up with 81% mash efficiency; the best I've ever had!

Really appreciate all the great info this sites provides.

Thanks everyone!

That is the one I have and it does the job. Remember to pull the cotter pin that holds the plate in and replace it with a #8-32 nut bolt assembly you can get from home depot. Be sure to use a lock washer and double nut the bolt because the vibrations from operation will cause it to loosen up.

I replaced the cotter pin with a screw but it was still loose so I used a rubber hose gasket to put between the "nut" and plate, then squished it until I could squeeze the screw in the hole and now it fits very snug in place. Here's a pic:
