I’ve only seen one of these Adana flatbeds here in California, heard of few others. It seems like the design would be simpler and cheaper to duplicate than the C&P Pilot or standard Adana platen. Modern copies haven’t come near.
The Payson Library at Pepperdine has two of the flatbed Adana QH which came from a printer outside of NYC. I crated them for their move west and it was the first time I had seen the design in person. It is a great little press.
