Does anyone need a new bed plate? - Posted August 24, 2007

I am about to have replacement bed plates made up for both of my Vandercook 320Gs and my #3 and will have enough of the .050″ cold rolled steel to make one extra bed plate.  Would anyone like to buy one for either of these presses?  The price will be fair.  Contact me for details. [...]


Vandercook roller dimensions… - Posted August 18, 2007

I would like to see a chart of the dimensions of rollers for all of the Vandercook models somewhere that was easy to look up to see if your current rollers were up to par. I’ve just had a problem with my SP-15 rollers which were about 3/32″ too small in diameter and it was [...]


219 Old Style Feedboard - Posted August 14, 2007

I am restoring a 219 OS and am missing the metal feedboard lip and side guide. I’m trying to research all of my options. I was hoping someone out there may have an extra one? Any suggestions for alternatives? I’ve been in contact with Fritz and he is going to look for the blueprints. Ted [...]

The grippers raise fine, but when depressed into the paper to HOLD the paper,the grippers clamp down very hard, MUCH harder than is needed to just hold the paper in position [...]


Challenge proof press for sale in Brooklyn - Posted August 8, 2007

I am listing this for a local printer that is soon to vacate his shop. The press has an oscillating bed and requires the form to be put in a chase and inked with a brayer. It would probably be best for those who work with wood type or mounted linoleum. I suspect the seller [...]


Vandercook No. 3 Carriage Help - Posted August 3, 2007

Hello. I recently had my Vandercook No. 3 overhauled with a new paint job. While the press looks beautiful, the carriage with the cylinder no longer “locks” in place. I think something mechanical was painted over that should not have been, so if anyone has any suggestions about which part on my press is affected, [...]


SP15 in Sacramento - Posted August 2, 2007
