Dad picked it up used in the 50's. I rescued it from scrap yard when we sold the house in 2019. Had it on craigs list for a year. I just disassembled it, had the cast iron blasted, painted with rustolium oil base primer (almost as old as the press) cleaned, lubed, and reassemble. Three moving parts.
