Dave, I had emailed someone who had one advertised from several months ago as he also had a planishing hammer for sale, which is what I really wanted. He had already sold everything, but let me know that his cousin's husband had recently passed, and his Erco kick shrinker was available. As I was working in the Baltimore area last week, which took about two hours off the trip to Long Island, it was all the motivation I needed. Glad to put a vintage machine back to work. Still looking for the planishing hammer....
