6.5x10” craftsmen Superior chase - or similar chase

Hi wonderful letterpress community, I hope this finds you well!

I’m a printer in Philadelphia looking for a replacement chase for a 6.5x10” craftsmen Superior press that I’m hoping to restore. I recently came across this press in decent rusted condition, but it’s missing its chase and rollers. Does anyone have a replacement chase for a Craftsmen Superior 6.5x10” I could purchase?

I’ve heard it might also be possible to modify a chandler and price pilot 6.5x10” chase and rollers to fit the Craftsmen Superior, does anyone have any information on this process, or a spare pilot 6.5x10” chase for sale?

I will be reaching out to the Craftsmen company in case they have any spare components such as the chase. If you happen to know the chase’s dimensions that would be much appreciated as I could also reach out to Stark Press in NJ to manufacture a new chase. Any leads on spare chases, or persons who can manufacture a chase of this size would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much, you can reach me at [email protected]
