   BETTER THAN NEW! Note the re-designed Extra-heavy-duty lever and drive connection links on this press. (photo above) These are brand new parts - cast of ductile steel and twice the size - and twice the strength - of the original parts installed when this press was first built. We have identified these as a 'weak point' in the original Kelsey design and have cast new parts to exceed the strength and reliability of the original. This press also includes the new style Victor handle and a set of brand new 30-durometer "Rhode Island Rollers", cast at our restoration facility in Rhode Island. The original impression shaft and linkages have been replaced with our heavier-duty design to give you more impression with less effort - and less chance of breaking the press under too much strain. Restored Press, including new rollers, beefed-up impression system and fresh paint - applied before the parts were re-assembled. Other presses restored in the recent past: Kelsey Excelsior Side-Arm 6x10" Press  Mechanically restored to better than new. Repainted, with new feed board & rollers Kelsey Excelsior Model U 5x8" Press  Classic older style Excelsior - with custom paint  Classic newer model Kelsey Excelsior 5x8 like it just came from the factory  6x10 Kelsey Excelsior Model X Platen Press  This is what makes the Model X so special -
the single-shaft, free floating double roller arm assembly - similar to
that used by Chandler & Price on their table top Pilot press - as
well as all other platen presses in their line for nearly 100 years.
This assembly assures far better control over roller pressure - and roller parallel alignment - than the more common "double hook" design of the standard Excelsior. |
