Vandercook SP-15 (S#25863 )

Please see the images below...

The first of these two presses is in excellent condition: the bed is clean and smooth, no noticable wear to bearers or rails, the ink drum and cylinder are bright and clean, and the press is set up with a brand new set of form rollers (and all form roller hardware). The oscillating vibrator and rider both have some very light surface scratching (likely from an abrasive pad used to clean them at some point), but this is not noticable to the touch. The motor is clean, oiled and running well. The press includes the original feed board, with paper guide, as well as a lock-up bar and one starwheel (which holds the sheet against the cylinder during impression).

As this press is in slightly better condition, and includes the feedboard, paper guide, and new form rollers, it is in turn the more expensive of the two.

Pick-up and shipping arrangements are not included in the price, and are entirely the responsibility of the buyer. The press is located in an easily accessible building at ground level, in Vernon, BC, Canada.

Asking price: $5,000.00 OBO

The second of these two presses is also in very good condition, but it's missing a few of the extras. The bed, again, is in great shape, the ink drum, cylinder, oscillating vibrator and rider are smooth (aside from some rust spotting, which is visual only, with no pitting or scratches noticable to the touch). The feedboard is an after-market addition (simply a well stained and varnished wooden replacement, with no paper guide), and the form rollers, while usable, should be recovered. This press, like the first, includes all of the form roller hardware, as well as a lock-up bar and one starwheel. While there are a few bells & whistles absent from this press, it prints exactly as well as the first. However, due to those bells & whistles, the asking price is a bit lower.

Pick-up and shipping arrangements are not included in the price, and are entirely the responsibility of the buyer. The press is located in an easily accessible building at ground level, in Vernon, BC, Canada.

Asking price: $4,500.00 OBO
