Hope thank you for mentioning this here! I may be signing up shortly!!

Hi Barb! My apologies for the VERY long delay here. I hope you’re still well and appreciate all of your advice SO much. I’m just now finally getting around to recovering the rollers, etc. I’ll be taking your advice into consideration heavily as I get her up and running. And to clarify it is a Gordon 9×13.

It doesn’t seem to have a treadle (I have photos and video if you’d like to take a peek). It does have a motor though that my husband and I are trying to get working again.

Warmly,
Emily

Thank you! How often to you oil your press and how do you do so (if I’m wearing you out on questions, feel free to stop answering). 🙂 I read that there are small oil holes here and there on the press? Not sure where to look for them.

Thanks so much Casey.

Ink: I’ve read some good things about rubber and oil-based inks. Why do you prefer oil?

Initial cleaning: It’s got dirt, debris, and oil on it. Should I clean before de-rusting with warm water and a soap of some kind?

Best,

Emily

Thanks Rob! I’ll keep you in mind. 🙂

I am in central Pennsylvania (Northumberland) and am interested… It appears to be an 8 hour drive though (525 miles). Does it come with anything else? 

Is it in print ready condition?
