Pretty disgusting - they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Trouble is, people will read this garbage and think that is must be correct as it...

Eric Well. I just had to come in for this. Yeah, a bit lame. But then, this list has been up for what a year and a half? Ever look at the group description?...

Eric Chandler & Price did offer cylinder presses. Don't know when they started making them but they were pulled in the late 1950s. Don't know if the pic...
Yep a pretty horrid description, especially where the table top press has "ink drip down" onto the form. Not sure where this is (Canada?) but somebody might...

Thanks Lance (and Mike). That's one clean looking machine. If anybody here wins it, I'd be happy to trade these molds (still in the oil-bath) for border slides...
G'day everyone, I posted this on the letpress site and did not get a lot of responce so perhaps I should of posted it here, so here was my message: Well I...
Milton, what does the motor plate reveal about specifications? I can tell you my 220v single phase motor only has two wires, not four as yours has. ("Linotype...
... know I have a Miehle 4. There is a big no. 4 cast in the frame. But I understand the 2R to mean there were two form rollers. There are four on mine and...
Thanks, Lance. It looks like a good unit, but it has a reserve. I usually lose interest when I see that. Wish they would just go ahead and set their minimum...

... Miehle had presses such as No.4, 5, 6, 7, and I think possibly also an 8. I had posted a web spot on Letpress that had all kinds of cylinder presses,...
Thanks very much for this information. It appears that my press is the Miehle 4-4R. As best I recall the bed size is the same, although I would have to check...
