Intertype linecaster for free, Heidelberg Windmill and some letters for sale

The Oberreuter printing plant in Zeulenroda-Triebes (Germany, Saxony, approx. 130 km from Leipzig) is dissolving its more than 100-year-old typesetting plant.

Intertype to give away (yes, it’s free of charge!)

The Intertype typesetting machine has not run for about 5 years, but according to the owner it is in first class condition. It is complete with accessories.

It is being offered free of charge, only the transport has to be organized and paid for. In addition there are (also free of charge, but only in bundle with the machine) magazines, matrices, material and a manual. However, the machine must be dismantled by the new owner for transport and brought out of the house via a staircase as it is on the upper floor and there is only a very small elevator.

The following fonts are included in the magazines:

  • Super book grotesque with semi-bold 6 / 8 / 10 / 12
  • Magna-Antiqua with semi-fat 6 / 8 / 9 / 12
