Shin Nihon Zokei - The Sixth Restoration
Six of these I have restored. It is becoming a familiar process.. excellent presses just a little small at 400ml wide; 16inches. About a 2.5 to 1 gear reduction.
Below what Jo's press looked like before restoration; rust and missing handles no bed no felt..
a week or so at Classic Etching Presses Emergency Ward for a big dose of TLC and all is well

Restoring Neglected Presses..
I have restored four Shin Nihon Zokei table top presses in the past and Jackie found me and brought this one to Classic Etching Presses casualty ward to bring it back to life. This particular press is different from the other four I have restored as it's frame is made of plate steel bolted together and the drive is direct onto the print roller. The print roller is solid steel and very heavy and the plate steel frame very heavy also. Like the others the press bed is 400x700 (16x28inches)

Saint Kentigern College Art Department new press..
This very pretty and very strong 20 inch antique press was bought by Saint Kentigern College's Art Department as their Shin Nihon Zokei 16 inch table top (very good presses) was a little too small and also looking shabby and with a pitted print roller. Some years ago I was hired for a day by Saint Kentigern College to give a lesson to an art class full of young girls on how to design a mural.
Saint Kentigerns is an expensive private College in a lovely seaside setting in East Auckland.
Good to see one of my presses going to a good home.. :)
