Equipment for my 3x5 crafsman?
I just purchased a 3x5 craftsman. It seems to be in good condition but it needs a roller, chase, and type. This is my first press so I’m not sure where the best sources for these items are. Any tips?

Craftsman is still in business in Massachusetts, i think they are in the yellow pages on this site, they still have some parts for their presses, it might be a place to start. Letterpress Things is another good place, Excelsior Press in Frenchtown, NJ has lots of stuff for sale. good luck Dick G.
