Wetter Numbering machines
Howdy!
I have a really great landlord who used to run a press in the building I am located in (100+ year history same building). With this in mind he has a ton of odds and ends which he told me I can have whatever I can use.
I have now acquired 4 numbering machines, 2 Atlantics, 1 Bimatic and a Wetter. I can’t find any information on the Wetter model 116 anywhere and would appreciate any information or links!
So yes, I realized after posting that it was more about machines and not specifically the Wetter. I can’t seem to find any information about a Wetter model 116 anywhere.
all 4 are 6 wheel, the Bimatic is Roman w/ 5 drop zeros and the other 3 are all sans serif. If anyone was wondering.
Are you specifically looking for repair parts for the Wetter? I may have some if you have a need.
Wetter was a big player in the numbering machine business for many years, and there should be lots of information out there in terms of ads in printing magazines and listings in supply catalogs. I can’t recall if they made high speed lock wheel models or not, but I do have an extra large character machine made by Wetter. It maximized the character size while still maintaining normal (.918”) height.
I am just looking for information about the machines and such. When I do a search typically the only results I am getting are a couple of Briarpress links, ebay, hand stamping machines and that is about it.
The machine I have is in perfect working order and just needs a cleaning/oiling as do the other 3 machines. What I was hoping was to come across a schematic of the machine itself without having to deal with uspto but I can pull the patent and it ought to have the schematic. That way I have a guild to disassemble/clean/reassemble by.
Edit:
Scratch USPTO, there is no patent # on the machine I have, just the model #
