12x18 C&P Craftsman with Kluge Feeder - taking offers

Accepting offers (no trades at this time) for a 1923 12x18 Chandler & Price Craftsman with a fountain that was rebuilt by Kluge and has a Kluge Feeder (serial number X1619). I purchased it at an auction in 2020, but I have not been able to set it up. It has been in an unconditioned warehouse since then. The auction company said that it was running at the time I bought it, but I didn’t see it running myself. We have the motor and belts that came with it.

Rob with Tribune Showprint in Muncie, IN was kind enough to tell me it was modified to have adjustable rails and it would be great for polymer printing. He also said that someone could remove the feeder and convert back to hand fed.

This is at ground level with a large overhead door. We also have a forklift and pallet jacks. I believe it weighs around 3,500 lbs, but we have a crane scale and can confirm if you need that information for pickup.

I have little to no press experience, but I am happy to try to answer any questions, take additional pictures, etc. The website link I provided goes to a Google photo album with more pictures.
