I told you they were good, congratulations on your purchase

I would imagine that if you had to move it as one piece then it would be a very heavy and awkward thing to move, even with two people moving it, thank heavens for these engineers that know how to strip down and reassemble machinery.

Have you tried @londonletterpress, info@londonletterpress.com I just bought a fully refurbished and serviced Morso and Casesse from them and they look and work like new machines, I know because I also looked at new machines, wonderful to deal with They have a place between Andover and Salisbury so m...

Hi Prospero

thanks
