Kobold Platen adjustments

Does anyone out there have experience with a German (Leipzig) built Kobold parallel approach treadle operated platen. It has the swan neck method of closing the platen and adjuster bolts below that.

It prints well, but I need to tweak it a little, and dont want to loose what I’ve got anyway.

HI
I have a Kobold parallel approach platen. It is a Victoria Heidenau. I have some information, that I received with the press. If it’s any good to you I can e-mail it over.
Let me know and I’ll get it sorted.

Does anyone have ‘Kawi Sortierhexe’ German made, or maybe German-Swiss, a device rather like a miniature mat slide tower, for sorting out pied spacing from pie, using vibration.

The late and regretted Georg Kraus from the Preußissches Bleisatzmagazin had one for sale. He did show it to me and it looked fantastic. I don’t know what happened to it when he died, did the people who took over sell it, or is it still there?
