Is there any rust on the drum?
OP

No rust.
It looks like you have undervalued it, KEH.com, might be interested, if no one here bites.
Personally, I'd prefer a working drum dryer to the two arched 'flatbeds' I have now, for fiber, but our car won't make it down your way, any time soon.

Dont know what thats based on, KEH doesnt have any listed and when I tried the sell function it wouldnt accept it as a valid name. It may be because its an old product. What do you know about it?
I'd try to give them a call, just to check with their darkroom person.
As far as the price, a quick check on Google and the two prices I saw as a result, indicated to me your price is too low.
I like and have know others to like having a drum dryer for non resin papers, and though I have two each hot air and double platen/canvas driers, I'd prefer a drum still, for non resin prints.
A clean drum, free of resins, and other marring surfaces, is, IMO, the best way to dry fiber/paper prints, in any volume printing session.
Just keep the drum clean and canvas clean.

The ones I saw online were in like new condition, mine is not. When I had it shipped to me the shipper dropped it on end and bent some sheet metal. I got most of it straight and the machine ran with no problems, used it for quite a few years. Thats why the price is low, want someone to have it that can make good use of it.

Wish I was close because I would come grab it.

Still available
Are you willing to sell and mail just the instructions? Would pay $50.

I can scan them and send them to you, wont be much trouble for me to do that. What I have is a xerox copy of the book as it is.

That would fine with me.

I'll check with my sister and son if they or her girls will be making the trip through Atlanta anytime soon and can pick it up, though it'll likely take a day or two.
They make this trip fairly often and the West Coast niece is down that wau for awhile, so I expect someone will pass through soon to here or there.

Just a FYI. I'm pretty sure that this unit was made for Beseler by Pako in Minneapolis. I have a couple of the Pako versions both running well after 50 years. In fact 2-3 years back I contacted Pakor and was able to buy new, made to order fabric belts. Fit perfectly, exact replacement. I don't use to ferrotype prints, don't try it. Use hardening fixer and works great. Prints come out reasonably flat and nice.
Do you have a PDF of the manual still? I would really appreciate it if you would send it to me. Thanks!

I’ll have to search the desktop computer for it, dont have it handy right now.
thanks!

I cant find it, been too long since the file was made. Might try contacting Nicholas Dellerba and see if he still has the pdf.
