Press for Solarplate?

[Robert Newcomb <newcombr@uga.edu>]

Hello,
About have my new darkroom finished and am getting ready to move my  
etching press into a near by area.
A question though.  What size and what brand of presses are people  
using for printing the poly plates?  The reason I ask is that my  
press was given to me because it was in storage, heavy to move (1500  
lbs), the owner had access to another press and last but not least  
the 30x60inch metal press bed had been stolen.
 So, I'm wondering if moving, buying a new bed and in general  
resurrecting this older large press ( Charles Brand) I think,  or  
trying to buy a new press is better.  The prices for presses are all  
over the place from the least expensive Richardson (dick blick) press  
on up to the bigger and heavy duty ones.

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks,

Robert N.
