first letterpress

After a year of letterpress instruction I am ready to purchase my first press for some good times! Like most beginners I’ve been advised to seek a table top model, and I would like a size larger than 8 X 10. I have also been told to try to find a C & P Pilot. I’m living in Chicago. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips?

* Since posting today, I have been told that Chandler and Price did not make a table top larger than 6.5 X 10. However, someone mentioned that Craftsman may have made a 9 X 13. This sounds like exactly what I want. Does any one have leads on this babe?
