Letterpress Press and/or Advice

I am hoping to purchase a letterpress printing press for my boyfriend who recently got into this form of printing through a school project. I don’t know very much about them, so any advice anybody has would be very appreciated! I am hoping to find some kind of set where the press comes with all the needed parts and sets of letters (mainly because I wouldn’t know how to find the right parts to fit a press without them.) I’m looking for something relatively small, but bigger than business card size. The lower the price, the better, but I am willing to pay for a great quality product. Help, please!!!! Location would be best in the Portland area, but I’m willing to pay for shipping, and also have lots of family around the country who could potentially pick up if I happen across something special, so please please if you have anything that you think fits this description, let me know! I am searching desperately! Thanks so much!
