Roller size + drawing Kelsey Excelsior 9*13
Hello!
I’m new here. Not new with letterpress btw. I recently sold my Heidelberg windmill and bought a tabletop press instead. The windmill took too much space. The rollers in this new Kelsey press are missing unfortenately. I’m from The Netherlands and can produce them local, except I don’t know what the exact measurements are? And the producer is asking for a drawing. Is there anyone to help me? Much appriciated!!

Toddspresstime and Michelle from Atelier Stampij, we’ve got an excellent company here in the Netherlands, with a team of very dedicated people who can make the cores, the trucks and the rollers. Members of our association Drukwerk in de Marge receive 10% discount on all orders. Recently they made me a set of rollers for a 5 x 8 Kelsey, model U.
AKB Longs in Zoeterwoude is the name of the company and they’ve been going since the 1930s. No order is too small for them!
Importing anything from the USA has become expensive and it’s every time hit or miss whether you will receive your goods…
