<p>This is the perforator, cleaned up and in its new location. Its directly on the floor instead of castors because the floor is not level and I didn't want it rolling over my foot.

<p>You're lucky about the completeness of this piece. It has tables and a guide in the photo. Mine came without any of the guides. As you know, it is heavy (about 300 lbs.), so I got some industrial grade casters rated for the weight of this beast and can easily move it on flat surfaces.</p>

<p>Aside from common metal/machine shop practice as to the working parts and surfaces, I don't know of any special treatment to give one of these things. Making sure the die holes are clear by inserting a wire of smaller dimensions and inspecting them will tell you if much in the way of cleaning/restoration is necessary.</p>
<p>The fact that all of the pins are present is surprising. Apparently this one was used lightly and put away for some time.</p>
<p>Good Luck and Have Fun Perforating!</p>

<p>I've got a smaller machine of a different make, but it came to me in pretty good condition, apart from worn pins. As far as I know you can't get replacement pins any more so take care of them, and the plate with the holes they fit into. If the pins are all there, move up and down easily and perforate properly without leaving dirt on the paper I wouldn't worry too much about the gunk.

<p>I've got a smaller machine of a different make, but it came to me in pretty good condition, apart from worn pins. As far as I know you can't get replacement pins any more so take care of them, and the plate with the holes they fit into. If the pins are all there, move up and down easily and perforate properly without leaving dirt on the paper I wouldn't worry too much about the gunk. Rust and dirt on the rest of the machine is cosmetic and can be dealt with later, as long as the moving parts are lubricated and move freely. If a machine has missing or broken pins you can take it apart (carefully) and move good ones from the edge to the centre so you at least have a continuous row, even if it's shorter.</p>
<p>Because of the worn pins and holes on mine, I usually feed three or four sheets at a time, with the bottom one being a waste sheet. You get sharper holes that way. It works best on thin cheap paper too. Don't perforate self adhesive material, or feed too many sheets at once! That looks like a nice machine, I'll be interested to see what you do with it.</p> Lucky owner.tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2016-10-14:2496677:Comment:20409642016-10-14T06:16:50.955ZTi Ar Radenhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/TiArRaden
