Hello all:
I have become a lover of these machines as I encountered them while trying to pay some bills with internet sales. activity. Sometimes I can get them going am am quick to acquire thinking its probably within my meager skills to get them functional. That being said, I
hankbuckhave some projects that I am engaged with now. A No 3 Corona Folding that needs some springs to complete the draw band repair. Ill be searching. then this Remette that needs rollers replaced once I figure out how to get the cylinder off and that nice stuff. I just picked up the last 2 the first being a Blickensderfer No 7 that just came in. The reason for my joining is the Olympia Mod 8 which I overpaid for and was not circumspect about inspection. I noticed that I could not strike the tab keys on the lowest row because there are no feet!. Now I need a low cost substitute so I can get it evaluated. Draw band is a necessary task also but the feet is a priority and I am hoping to elicit some help. Thanks,
hankbuck
