Craftsmen Victory or Imperial…Advice Please…

Hello to all..
I’m happy to be back on this forum after a year or so off…
Anyway…
I have the opportunity to possibly get this old Craftsmen press and need a little advice..
I think its a 5x8 Victory Model. Owner thinks its a Imperial. Will need new rollers, trucks etc…Was thinking about refurbing it, casting some rollers etc…

Any advice would be appreciated.. Is it a Victory? Value..??

Thank You to all…

Measure inside the chase. If it measures 5x8 then it’s a Craftsmen Imperial press. The Victory is a 4x6 thereabouts, and the Superior is 6 1/2 X 10 I think. Check here by Justin Miller. https://www.flickr.com/photos/boundstaffpress/sets/72157616171128408/

That is 5x8 Imperial, very good press for its size.
I always have new rubber roller and truck sets in stock for it.
