FAG Lausanne is selling a used FAG Swissproof 40. The press has just been inspected by a FAG engineer and updated with brand new rollers.

The Swiss Proof 40 is a simple but very precise proof press developed for DRUPA 1972 (print media messe) to be a less expensive alternative to the more technisized Control 405 (half-automatic, with adjustable bed). The Swiss Proof 40 is a handcranked press with the maximum sheet size: 40cm x 58cm.

There is a FAG Standard AP-550 (with adjustable bed) listed on Ebay Germany! Unfortunately there is only one photo but anyone who is close to Laubach (close to Frankfurt am Main) should go and have a look at it!

Go check it out on Ebay.

June 13, 2013, sold to Berlin, Germany.

Another FAG proof press on Ebay Germany. Its not visible from that point of view if it has an adjustable bed. Besides from that it looks pretty okay. I don't have any further information about it. The press is located in Soest, near Dortmund, Germany.

The seller is asking 2'500 Euros.  I guess you would definitly want to ask a bit more about the condition and the moving situation, before you'd pay that much for a unrefurbished press.

There is a FAG Swiss Proof listed on Ebay Germany! Unfortunately there are only two unsharp photos but anyone who is close to Nürnberg should go and have a look at it! I wrote the seller an email so he/she should update more information about the condition.

Update Oct 31, 2013 : The seller, Mr. Lang contacted me today and sent me infos about the press. The press has been used not very often by a local artist in the last 5 years. He says that the press is in working condition. He will take more photos of the rollers and details next week. The press is situated in a basement of a building in Nürnberg and needs to be put in pieces by the buyer. He said that when they moved it in they removed the cylinder carriage and even the pressbed from the frame. Then 4 strong people could lift the press out – I guess it would be 4 very strong people! I'll update the images as soon as I get them from Mr. Lang.

Update Nov 03, 2013 : The seller, Mr. Lang updated the auction with several images. It looks like the press is pretty complete, clean and without rust. Still the handle bar is missing. Other than that the cover of the ink drum doesn't seem to be installen (which is not a problem and might still be around). The ink rollers don't look too bad and are probably still usable. All in all – I would say a perfect press for the person who could organize the transport. Go for it!

Go check it out on Ebay.
