I lost the heating elements for my Randall R-32s when we moved some of our machines. I wanted to order a couple heater cartridges, but I can't remember what I had in them. Can anyone measure an element diameter x length? I'm thinking that I might have had 22mm or 20mm heaters, but I just don't remember. Looking to buy a couple on Ebay or Amazon on the cheaper side of life.

So I bought this machine from a guy down the road and now I need to figure out how to get it up and running. Does anyone know where I can get new wheels and sand paper or will I need to manufacture it myself? Any one know where I can find an old owners manuel?

I am planning on investing in a larger clicker press and am wondering if anyone here has experience with working with either of these machines? Side by side they are very close, BG's is slightly cheaper, has a larger opening giving it more range for die heights. I've read Weaver is made in the US and easy to work with and has been recommended more often, but am not sure exactly why. Any insight here?

Does anyone know if Nippy presser and roller feet will fit the FAV Skiver? They're both fortuna-ish clones.

I bought a brand new Techsew SK -5 skiver. Delivered yesterday. All arrived good as far as shipping, no damage.I un packed the item, the stand and motor were all new. I then un packed the Skiver and noticed the black v belt was frayed and chunks were out of the belt. Upon further inspection, the sharp stone was used. the inside of the machine was dirty from the belt dust. The post was scratched and chipped. The belt that runs the grinder was also coming apart. one of the caution stickers on the outside had oil soaked on it. Looks like they sent me a used or a returned machine, not new as ordered for the $2680.00 I paid for it incl shipping. What do you guys think I should…

Discovered something new today Renia Aquilium. It's a water based contact cement made in Germany from what I see. I'm a little intrigued by it, but have not used it and curious if anyone here has? Especially in a glue machine? I have Potdevins that I use a thinned down latex based cement in, but am always looking for something new.

I pulled an Ace Hot Cutter model HC720wp out to clean up and use for a project. I've never used it before and spent a couple hours cleaning, oiling, adjusting, replacing belts and adjusting the reeves drive. Everything is A-ok mechanically, although it wont start by the on and off buttons....Works fine if I plug the under the machine plug into an extension cord though. Stopped working on it for the evening, had enough for today, lol. I am curious if anyone has a manual for this machine w/electronic schematics or a photo/two to share? I don't need a manual to figure out the issue, but there is one small thing missing on the front of the box. I don't kn…
