Hi folk
I've been looking for a metric Deckel FP2 for some time to replace my older imperial one. Metric ones are extremely rare to find here in England and sadly I was the under bidder on a very young/late machine that popped up on eBay a few weeks previous.
So I started seriously searching Europe and found several candidates within my budget (Non with DRO's )
I also was aware of possible importation hassel that could accompany the looming BREXIT deadline at the end of October and so did not want to leave a European purchase too long.
Now here's the machine ... Overall very good machanically and now cosmetically (70-80 hours of cleaning and checking). Vertually no tooling with it but that was not an issue as I've got a lot from my imperial machine.
Now here's a few of pictures.
... Oh and some large bills from Franz Singer too
