View all threadsDear GBW folks,
We have a cast iron backing press that needs a good home. You can see pictures here: https://wesleyan0-my.sharepoint.com/personal/vmiglus_wesleyan_edu/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fvmiglus%5Fwesleyan%5Fedu%2FDocuments%2FPress&ga=1
Yes, the press is heavy - but it comes apart. It weighs about 400 lb but if taken apart, the the legs are 75 lb each and the wheel another 50 lb so that would leave 200 or so for the main part of the press. It is located at Wesleyan which is in Middletown. If you are interested, please email me off list - - first come first served!
Thank you,

I am not really looking for another backer but thought I would look at yours... However, can't open your link.
