I will keep my ear to the ground for secondhand parts and will get in touch when I have a better indication of what I won't be able to find and what will have to be fabricated. I appreciate your willingness to delve into such a project though! Daniel Hello Fritz,

I cut both my packing and drawsheet from a tympan roll and get sufficient tension without a clamp bar (or masking tape) by making the tail of the drawsheet longer (28" on my No.4). If I need a mylar drawsheet then I do use adhesive tape. I wouldn’t bother with a securing bar (called a clamp bar on most models) unless you have a supply of pre-cut tympan paper drawsheets.

Most of the parts are not available and would have to be made. Contact me if there is a burning desire to rescue this press as it was originally set up. We have the sheet guides, possibly the bed pins, dead bars, etc., but the roller frame and gears is another matter. A major project. Most of the parts are not available and would have to be made.
