Very early pre-war Heidelberg windmill press / No. 11764 - mfg'd 1928 / $500 or best offer

pre-war windmill press

Need to move out by end of February. We acquired this press 7 years ago and have not had the time to put it into service. The motor works fine and the press will feed paper, but we have not actually printed on it. Could be used for printing or die-cutting. It is a great old press.

Also included with the press: Brand new Buna-N rubber rollers ($300 value), an extra set of arms, old rollers and box of pre-cut tympan sheets. Press is located on ground level with garage door access. Very easy to move and load. Local rigging service can be arranged to help you load. Please inquire for details.

 

10x15 C+P press with Kluge feeder / Mfg'd 1926 // SOLD -- Now in Korea (Yes, Korea!)

Kluge Press

It has black Buna-N rollers in perfect condition with the add-on ossillating metal roller for fantastic ink coverage. The variable speed 220 motor works great and we repacked the compression cylinder two years ago so the suction is strong and handles heavy stocks such as Lettra and chipboard like a champ. You can also hand-feed on this press by flipping up the feeder (makeready mode). Lots of extras included: new suckers in various sizes, various tongue sizes, pre-cut tympan, extra side guides, grippers and many differnt finger sizes, three McGill’s gauge pins, six metal chases (three shown), original feeder manual and parts books, extra delivery arm, press packing, and everything you need to print. Press #C71308 / Kluge #101208.
