Some of its powers comes from a very short stoke, I think about 20 mm or so. There is not that slow oils pneumatic sound but a shorter very powerful "BANG". When you start it you have to let the motor built up its rpm, then you pull the lever and "BANG" as a heavy hammer blow on a leather covered anvil. A other type of paint I got a tip on is car paint, several layers with clear top coat will stain all liquid including acetone (that loosen up hammerite) Then I rebuilt the motor to a single phase with two big capacitors to not loose any power. Then I had to adjust the clutch mechanism, loosen it up. The oil becomes stiff, I had to pour big amount of paraffin (or diesel will work the same) inside all lube points, and force it to work again. The machine did not turn easy around after standing idle for a long time, they normally do not rust inside. I promised him a big discount on a heavy stitcher I have for sale, and he need one. he has a small leather shop in his basement, while working in a different job. #Atom Clicker Press Repair for free#He said, if you still wants the machine you can have it for free if you pick it up. The machine stood outside his old workshop under a big awning ( during winter and summer time all that time). He had done eight years of training in the UK before starting up his own as a bag maker here in Oslo, so then he had to close down. There are very few who do leather work in Norway, therefore he would not have many customers.Īnd it was kind of a sad story, he could not feed his family working as an saddler. And just for fun I checked if he have sold it. Then three years later when cleaning up my email inn-box, I saw the mail again. I was about to buy it then, but my money went to other tools and machinery. The machine was for sale about three years ago for 6000 Norwegian krone`s (approx 1000 US$). Hi, it was Genava who paid 75$ for his machine, I got mine for free. Tor, That's a great looking press! What does it sound like when you use it? $75 Geneva! wow! nice purchase I sent him an email so he could do a short video of it working but haven't heard from him yet. It looks like such a beautiful press and would love to restore it. I would say it will cost about $400 to deliver it. ![]()
