Schuler fly press

[528E12]

Anyone on here have one of these?

I bought this press a few years ago. It sat outside for many years and had some issues to be dealt with.

Although the manufacurer is still in business today , I have not seen another one like this... thought you might like it. 

I did contact Schuler and got a reply with some info. 

Apparently there were 5 different types with 40, 50, 60, 72 and 80mm spindle.  Mine has the 72mm. 

They were built between 1920 and 1935.  I started to make some tooling for it but I really need to spend more time on that.

I really like it, Nice restoration on that, I bet it will come in handy with the right dies.

I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sail’s.

That is certainly a beautiful restoration job, but I couldn't help noticing the silhouette of Alfred Hitchcock on the right side of the first photo!
