Welcome! This is a great place to learn. And now I'm curious just how old "really old" is!
Nice guys laugh last.

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

I'm in rahway right before the gothals bridge ,and as far as equipment goes . Some of the best presses are extremely old. Well at least manual wise. For an example, the Lawson ,the older version as well as a timely Hopkins older press . Are better then the new version, and I've recently just started my own company here in Jersey and guess what I saved so much money buying a used refurbished 94 challenger .  I mean ,I look at like this . It's all about the person printing and how well of a printer you are . If your determine to figure something out ,you will. Typically the older the machine the less complicated it is to run. Hang in there ,and I'm sure if there's anything you can't figure out ,someone here will be glad to help.
