Hallo Keith, I am sending all replies to the Letpress list.
And now, it is a small world isn't it? I have, out rusting in my barn unfortunately, a complete letterpress job shop. C-4 Intertype, Model M Ludlow, both electric pot, loads of handset type, Heidelberg 10x15 Windmill, Miehle V36 vertical, 12x18 C&P, 2 8x10's of unknown manufacture, Van der Cook adjustable bed proof press, rubber stamp vulcanizer, a couple of paper joggers, Bunn string tier and all the other equipment, small stuff, furniture, quoins and keys, numbering machines, paper stock, etc., etc. etc. which made up my shop. When I became disabled I had to move it out to my barn and that, as it is said, was the end of that. Makes one ill, but there is nothing much which can be done about it. Can't give the stuff away and can't afford to house it properly so it doesn't rust. If I could I would go out and putter around. Love printing. Making things right, look good when others don't believe it can be done. Another thing we have in common is Japan. One of my dearest friends lived in Tokyo for 15 odd years. Taught English but lived there to study Aikido. She is the highest rated woman black belt in the world. The Japanese men really gave her hell. Didn't like training with a woman. Just made her strong in her technique. She is pushing 60 now and lives in LA. I loved Japan when I was there. Mid and late 60's. R&R from the Nam. Neat, tidy, friendly, effecient. And Sapparo dark beer is right up there with German (Bavarian in particular) brews.
