No. 4 Manual
Does anyone have access to a Vandercook proof press #4 operations manual or some such directions on the press’s operation. Also who is a good supplier for photopolymer plates for this press?
Thanks,
Bosco Bob

Looks like Paul had to fix your cap key for you. Ah, the mark of a dedicated, and yet so unappreciated moderator. :—)
At any rate, I’ve got a No. 4 manual that I will gladly scan and give over to Paul for whatever future dissemination. Not that I am trying to cheat Fritz out of a few bucks but I do note that this is not available on the Boxcar site. Whatever. Someone let me know. At any rate I will not get around to it within the next week so go to Fritz if you need it right now. Also, and I hate to have to say this, somehow you found the right place but you are still not doing your homework. Paul has an operations instruction manual at his site. It is listed here on the side bar. Fameorshame.
Good luck

I have the manual up on the PPLetterpress site
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PPLetterpress/
in the Files/Reference/Vandercook section.
Because of its mass, this is only a temporary placement and will be removed at some point.
The PDF’s are large to capture the necessary detail.
