Bearforge Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 i recently aquired a blacker B hammer but it is having a couple of mechanical issues. I would love to see one in person working or find a manual on one. Quote

ThomasPowers Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 You want to see one in person: you willing to travel internationally or would telling your general location be a good idea. In the USA I would check with The Fisher Museum; in the UK there is a fellow using a Blacker and it's been pictured here. May I suggest starting with doing a browser search on: Blacker power hammer site:iforgeiron.com and trying to contact any owners near you. Quote

I also have manuals for the B, and C if you want to contact me. I have a C you can see working, basically the same as a B but without the traverse mechanism and large anvil. Whereabouts are you?

Bearforge Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 Thanks. I am in central Illinois USA near Peoria. I have googled it and seen a few videos but they are no help as it pertains to how to set the timing for proper operation. I have inquired on a few forums and you and one other are the only ones to respond. Thanks so much for your time. Quote

We won't remember this once leaving this post, hence the suggestion to edit your profile to show your location. You might do a search for Mark Krause hammer whisperer, he is expert in power hammers and he may be able to help. Quote

Frosty Posted March 26, 2024 Posted March 26, 2024 If you look at the time stamp you'll see the original post was almost 5 years ago. He may still be on the forum but last visited July 26 2019. Frosty The Lucky. Quote
