Chandler and Price Printing Press Restoration



"It is not my intention to restore these machines to show, or museum quality. It is my intention to re-work, as necessary, a 100 year old versatile piece of printing machinery, and to give it possibly, another 100 years of life. As a designer of machines and lover of old machines, especially these that oscillate, reciprocate, slide, rotate and clink; it warms my heart to bring back to life these cast iron masterpieces."

-Brian DeFelice
