Linotype Machine to be scrapped

Hi all!!

I know this isn’t the right place to post this but I wanted to make sure it received attention as it is time critical.

It has been an age since I’ve posted and a very old Contact of mine remembered a conversation I had with him in 2014. He manages a print shop in Winnipeg Canada and told me that by the end of next week 5/27 they are scrapping this old machine as they don’t have the space for it anymore. He is just asking about $200.00 for it.

Let me know if anyone is interested and I’ll get you his information. Hate to see this scrapped. Attached is an image I took in 2014 of the machine.

Thank you for the consideration,
Jared

Nice looking model 31 with a Star quadder. Guessing machines are not that common in Canada, so worth grabbing. And look, it’s on a pallet already!

Hi Jared, as Mike said, nice looking machine, with a very tight deadline.

It might be worth posting details in the Metal Type Forum, there are plenty of Linotype enthusiasts there.

Just sent you an email, I have a rural museum fellow just outside of Winnipeg that’s setting up a printshop.

I didn’t get your email. But I did send one to you in return via brair press

And messaged you on Instagram via Printmonger

To follow up on this, this Linotype was saved, and is soon to be on working display at a pioneer village/museum near Winnipeg.
I’ll have more details once spring seeding is complete, as the fellow who is behind saving it is dodging rainstorms to get his farm planted.
Thanks again for the lead Jared!

Hooray!!!
Hope you got all the magazines and matrices.
Just keep printing!
Frank.
