This one is for my letterpressing friends and I’m putting it up here in the hope that I can find somebody who is parting out an Chandler & Price Old Style 10×15″ letterpess.

(Oh, clients if you’re reading this, I also do some letterpress printing, I might blog about that after the Christmas rush!)

Had a bit of a distressing day on Thursday over at the Polytechnic and a part which recently gave way on the C&P Old Style 10×15 gave way again in a more dramatic fashion and the press is looking a little worse for wear. This is a donated machine which we use in the Letterpress class which I volunteer at, and if anyone can help us source some parts that would be amazing.

Also unrelated to the main problem, we need to source a replacement disc lever & roll (the pawl itself is okay), but happy to pay for the whole assembly if someone has one going spare.

Basically we’re looking for any leads on where to perhaps find parts (maybe another person has had something similar happen and has a press they’re selling for parts?) to repair this excellent machine.
