Hello Everyone,
I am looking to sell my Challenge Style K proof press. Its equivalent to the Vandercook SP-15 in size and quality. The main difference is the Vandercook SP has auto inking and the Challenge has manual inking on the rollers. Also, the bed moves instead of the cylinder which is kind of nice for long runs since you can stay stationery. The parts are pretty much interchangable with most standard Vandercook models.
The rollers are ok, and probably have 6 months of good life in them. I can have them re-rolled with Denny from Advanced if you wanted. I will include this in the price.
This is the perfect opportunity for someone to get Vandercook quality, but at less then half the price.
Its a great press, but we just don?t use it enough to justify keeping it.
Here is a guide for information:http://letterpresscommons.com/files/2013/02/ChallengeProofPresses.pdf
I am asking $5,500 obo. I have attached some pictures. If you would like to see more pictures, a video or come by our shop to check out the machine let me know. We are located in Alexandria, VA.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
