Kelsey Press
Parts & Repair If you own a
Kelsey - or other brand manually operated letter printing press, we can
get you parts for repair of your press - or repair your press for you. Wouldn't it be nice to have an extra chase - or to replace that missing ink table on the press you just bought?. . We work closely with an experienced restorer of table top presses who also has a completely equipped machine shop to make repairs, alterations adjustments, etc on Kelsey or other brand letterpresses.  When new parts are needed, we make them. Many
of the new parts we offer are cast - in America - of ductile steel,
which will outlast the orginal - and somewhat brittle - cast iron used
in the past. Some parts are also cast of cast iron or aluminum as
appropriate.
 Although this work is not done at the Excelsior Press, we are in daily contact with the restoration shop and can help you get what you need to print what you want. We are, after all, printers with an interest in press repair, not machinists with years of experience fabricating missing press parts... |
