Good afternoon.

By chance, does anyone have an available pressure pad for the old Euro 8008 to sell ? I have a customer wanting one. I would put the seller / buyer in touch with one another.

Many thanks.

If the customer can get a piece of threaded rod of the right pitch, it wouldn't be rocket surgery to epoxy a bit of wood or something on the end and stick a bit of felt to it. Better still, a bit of cork tile.

The pressure pad on the old Euro was not one of it's better design features. I have been using this model (same machine) for 30 years and soon found out not to let the factory-fitted pad contact any moulding. I always interpose a wood triangle covered with cork. Wrapped in cling film to keep glue building up on the face.

If it's the same as the one on the 9000 I've got one spare.
