Need Repair Service Kelsey 5x8

I bought a Kelsey 5x8 on eBay and it took an injury during shipping. The broken piece can be seen in the pictures attached. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can get it back together? I’m located in the Oakland area, willing to drive it as far north as Sacramento or down to Monterey to get it fixed.

I’d suggest a machine shop that has experience brazing cast iron. There’s probably one near you.

I can help you with the repair and will send you a note outlining the options.

Tom,
Did I hear correctly that you reproduce the platen leveling bolts for the C&P Pilot?

Yes I have the impression screws in stock now or can make whatever is needed. I need to know if the press is O.S. or the N.S. for starters. Drop me a note with your needs.
