Marsh Electric Stencil Machine, Model E. The stamped in value next to it is the serial, so don't pay attention to those thinking they have a "model Q" or any such thing. Cuts 1/4" letters, great for instructions, labeling small devices, etc. A big wheel selects the individual stencil, and then instead of a lever, you hit a switch and a powerful hydraulic ram, powered by a large gearmotor, stamps it. No tentative cuts or any issues there. I believe this model is discontinued, but Marsh exists and still sells manual machines for $1,600 new. I think you can still get parts, if somehow you manage to wear it out or break it. Many places still carry stencil inks, rollers, oilboard and other materials. Machine works great, and some samples are shown. The space is not great, but this is a design flaw, not a broken part. We have scribed vertical lines in paint pen across the card platen as individual character spaces, to increase the speed of operation when adding spaces or centering, instead of pushing the funky spacebar for hours. Do understand it is used. The machine is a bit dirty as it's used in a print shop and things get inked. Due to the weight it has some scratches when it has been moved and bumped into stuff, or where other nearby stuff has bumped into it. It's very, very heavy duty, so none of this matters generally. There's a weirdly thin sheet steel cover over the front. A few dents there, but it works and the electric components underneath are in good shape. The machine was regularly used, cleaned and inspected for good and safe operation. Do not use WD40 to lube it. That varnish thing is true, so use plain old machine oil, and don't overdo it. The feet were replaced 3 years ago (with something similar to the original). The back one, especially, takes a lot of weight so had worn out, but they are still in good shape. Machine is included in full working order, but nothing else. No manual, no tools or parts, no case, no oilboard. It is VERY HEAVY. Shipping therefore costs a lot, so I'd strongly suggest you buy local and we can meet to transfer it instead. If you insist on shipping, you are free to arrange someone else to come pick it up, so discuss with me before you make payment.
