One of the rider rollers on my Vandercook 4 is loose, rattles when the press is running and seems to be inking slightly unevenly as a result. I can’t find anything in the manual about a part that may be missing or broken, does the rider roller use nyliners also?
The motor is pretty loud and there’s an occasional screechy grinding sound that I think is coming from the main motor or the belt. It seems to keep running and comes and goes but I feel like I should be concerned. I topped up the oil in the speed reducer but can’t figure out where it might go in the main motor.
Video of the issues linked below. I am trying to get this press back into full operation, and feel like I’m flying a little blind.. your help is very much appreciated!
