Chandler & Price Printing Press Restoration

We have been restoring machinery on and off since the company's start in 1983. About half of the restored machinery was for use here in our shop and the other half was for customers.

Only in the last few years did we stumble upon these neat pieces of antique machinery when someone contacted us that had a Chandler and Price Pilot that needed extensive casting repairs. While doing a full restore of the little press we became fascinated by these unique pieces of machinery. Curiosity lead to researching more about these letter presses and we discovered that there were many other types and sizes.

After the completion of the Pilot found someone local with a 10 x 15 Chandler and Price Old Style for sale and took it on as a project. We had so much fun doing restoring the 10x15 that we decide to make it a side aspect to the business of designing and building production machinery and prototypes.

Our experience in machinery restoration really aided us I the restoration of the first two presses. So far we have restored four Chandler and Price printing presses, a Pilot, three 10 x 15s, and several more presses are in the works.

Below are photos and information of the presses we have restored to date as well as presses we have in storage awaiting restoration and shipment to a good home. We always have 2 or 3 presses in storage.

If you are selling a press we are always interested. Please email us and we will go from there.
