milou,

Here’s a link to someone who can help you with your Adana. I also purchased an Adana 2 HS back in December. I sent him a picture of it and he pretty much told me what I needed and how to clean it. I have an instruction manual for an Adana 3-5 which is similar to this model, but it is crated in storage until (at least) December. It’s safe to say if it hasn’t been used since the 70’s you’ll need new rollers. Take pictures of it and send it to Don Black and he should be able to help! I hope this helps you some!

Many thanks for that I ll give him a go. Dont think I can attach photos as my computer skills belong in the letterpress era !

Hi,
I have been using Adana Presses since Adam was a lad and have instruction leaflets for most. Where are you ?
I have an entry under Cockleshell Press which is located in Southern England.
If I can help with instructions then please give me a call.

Letterpress gets in your blood, so beware.

Hi Mike
Many thanks for your reply I would be very interested in talking to you but cant see a telephone no and cant find you on directory enquiries.
Is there another way I can contact you ?
