I heard a strange rattling/rumbling noise inside my 219os. Opened it up and added oil to the motor thinking that may just be it but it didn’t help. Then with the base open noticed that the pulley was bumping around. I took it off and the motor spins fine. I’d never had reason to remove […]
MoreSP-15 – Need Large Stainless Inking Roller
Thanks to all who replied to my query about disassembling my SP-15 before moving it. Both those who replied here and those who replied via email have convinced me that I need to leave the press assembled. Today I made progress getting the C&P 8×12 on skids, so I can get it out of the […]
MoreWeight of SP-15 Components?
Hi All! I’m a newbie here, with an SP-15 (and a smaller C&P of as yet undetermined size) ready to be restored, both in a basement. I checked out the logistics thoroughly today, and it appears I will not be able to move either press fully assembled. I’ve done a good bit of searching in […]
MoreUniversal 1 ink drum core “keeper” missing
In cleaning up our new Universal 1 at OCAC, we discovered a missing piece that keeps the ink drum from having side to side play. It’s this “keeper”, or collar as I’ve been calling it, that fits around the ink drum core that sticks out on the outside of the non-operator side of the frame. […]

MoreUniversal I Trip Mode
Hello again, I think I’ve narrowed my trip problem down to a lever on the back of the press that isn’t fully engaging. When in trip mode, this lever is coming only halfway up to it’s destination. I figured a spring must be broken, but I couldn’t find one on the opposite side of the […]

MoreHelp! SP15 Grippers go up, but do not go down!
I changed the tympan paper three days ago, and since then my grippers are not functioning properly. When I press the gripper pedal the grippers go up, but when I release the pedal 3 out of 4 grippers remain up, and therefore are not gripping my paper at the feed board. Because I am printing […]
