Members AmericanPatrol Posted February 14, 2018 Members Report Posted February 14, 2018 Hello First post here. I am looking for parts, pieces, manuals, etc for royal and peerless perforates I own. Besides Campbell-Randal, does anyone in this forum have experience with these? I will needing some advice, parts and dies made for them if none are available off the shelf. Also I would like to get user and maint. manuals for them if available. Thanks everyone! Quote
Members JoergFBernhard Posted August 22, 2018 Members Report Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Hi, tonight I am going to pick up my leather perforator, a similar machine for same purpose, but from a different brand (Ideal). So far also I don't have experience with this one and looking for a manual...will let you know once I get some info! Edited August 22, 2018 by JoergFBernhard Quote
Members JFBernhard Posted August 22, 2018 Members Report Posted August 22, 2018 The only thing I found on the web are these two .pdf of the original U.S.Patents from 1938, including a technical blueprint. Actually all of these machines are constructed in a similar way, regardless the brandname. Maybe it helps you in some way to reconstruct/ rebuild your machines. US2123875A.pdf US2144620A.pdf Quote
Members AmericanPatrol Posted October 2, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 2, 2018 WOW...Such a beautiful machine! Thanks for the PDFs. If you dont mind I would lie to see more images of the punch and anvil set up sometime. Have you found a place to make punch dies for you? What is the max width your perforating pattern will allow..? Im guessing 3/4 inch? Also, what your plans to use your machine for?? I hope you have good luck with it, Id like to think Im not the only nutty guy for these! Peace Quote
bikermutt07 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Posted October 3, 2018 I didn't know these things existed. Quote

Members Cumberland Highpower Posted June 28, 2019 Members Report Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Did you ever find parts for your machines? I have a machine like one of yours (light gray one). I took the table off and made some special parts to convert it to a different duty... Managed to crack a piece inside by tightening it too much and a machine shop made a replacement for me. The paint under the gray is black (mine was). Probably painted in a rebuild along the line... Edited June 28, 2019 by Cumberland Highpower Quote
RockyAussie Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 I think I have one of the ones in your first picture there. Unfortunately it is night time here and the machine is down in a shipping container elsewhere on the property. I don't have any manuals but found it pretty easy to work out and use after I got the long cardboard roll strip and mounted it under the table. The dies feed that cardboard along as it sort of stitches along a bit like a sewing machine. Your picture looks to be showing the back side of the machines and if they are like mine there is a brass dial knob on the front that allows you to set the distance spacing. I have here a couple of pictures of the type of punches it uses if that helps for the moment.. If you could post a picture of the other side of the machine could help. Quote
Members AmericanPatrol Posted September 13, 2019 Author Members Report Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks Guys Yes, i am still trying to get my machines running. Im hoping to find someone to make custom dies. If anyone has any old machines, information, parts or dies please contact me! wpild like to see how your machines function! Quote
