Hot Foil Press questions

[Hot Foil Press questions]

I picked up this machine recently at an auction for it's heavy duty stand, air/hydraulic cylinders, switches, palm control switches etc . (always fabricating stuff in my shop).  Don't know how to use it and before I consider parting it wanted some opinions as to whether it is something someone else could use.  Probably weighs close to 300lbs?  Read where it might have use in the leather business?  If it's worth saving can you suggest where I might offer it for sale? Make/model: Vansco Inc DA-100

 

Thanks

[JUKI LU-563 LUBRICATION QUESTION]

My LU-563 manual indicates that the machine should be lubricated near the hand wheel area...my LU-563 doesn't have a lubrication port in that area. Is it possible that it has a sealed bearing in that position?

[Where do I purchase these hinges? (Juki LU-563)]

Thanks for the response already found a set on ebay for $9.89 delivered...description....TABLE HINGE SET - SMALL OLD STYLE...still would like to know the function of that lever on the bobbin winder.

[Where do I purchase these hinges? (Juki LU-563)]

Have a JUKI LU-563 and would like to purchase (2) of the hinges that bolt to the Juki base and then allow the machine to pivot.  Not sure what they are called or where to buy them.

Also on the bobbin threading unit there is a lever that I have no idea what it's purpose is...can any help?

 

Thanks
