Catergory: Customization
John Horn sent me this photo of his innovative rolling Vandercook work station. John says, “It’s two feet deep and four feet wide. It’s a prototype so it is pretty crude. I love having the furniture cabinet close at hand. I park this work station right behind the operator so that he or she can [...]

Catergory: Oscillator/Worm Gear, SP series
Hi there,
Does anyone know how to temporarily stop the oscillation of the oscillating roller on an SP-15?
I have a project I’m hoping I can do a blending technique with, and I was thinking it would go much easier if there’s an easy way to stop the oscillation of that top roller. The area I’m [...]

Catergory: Motors, No. 4
Hi all. I used my Vandercook 4 successfully for about a month, then began hearing a clanking sound behind the belt guard, which turned out to be the upper pulley rubbing against the guard. When the motor is on, the belt gradually moves toward the operator side of the pulley, then starts to move off [...]

Catergory: Inking System, Motors, SP series
Hi there—This is my first post. I have an SP-15 (serial #26151), and I looked through my manual, but am still unsure of the part names. It appears the gear on my motorized roller is broken. This is the gear that the belt / pulley (?) runs on to actually move the roller. [...]

Catergory: 32-28
I noticed the Friction Spring Assembly on one of the photos for the 232P restoration and conversion project. I’m looking for a set for my 32-28. If anyone knows where I could find two please let know. Here is a photo capture from one of the 232P pictures for reference.
Thanks,
Casey

Catergory: Lockup Bar, SP series
I’m unfamiliar with exactly how a lock-up bar works but I don’t think mine is not working correctly. The extension block will not move when I tighten the bar down. (isn’t it suppose to?) I’ve taken it apart and noticed that there was a spring like part inside but when I put my finger in [...]

Catergory: Rollers, SP series
A friend and I just had our rollers recovered from NA Graphics and we’re sitting here putting them back together and the gear will not line up where it is suppose to. It’s the same for both sets of rollers. We’ve tried each side and every roller trying to get the gear to line up. [...]

Catergory: No. 1, Value/Price
I’ve located another table top press in the san francisco area. I’ve looked it up in the models index and it appears to be the second generation with the grippers but it does not have the inking tray. He’s asking $600. Is this anyone here or can anyone comment on the price etc? It comes [...]
