I've been looking over on various European used equipment sites and there are a bewildering number of Deckel models. I'm finding this a bit confusing as there are so many models.
Besides the basics in terms of model line up,
FP1
FP2
FP3
FP33
FP4
FP5,
there are the innumerable additional letters after certain model designations.
I realize that '~M' likely means Manual control, while '~NC', means 'Numeric Control', but what about:
~A
~A/T
~MA
~L ("Long"?)
~V
~H
~LB
~LV
~Aktiv
~HT
There are likely more suffixes than I have listed above. What do they mean? It would be great if there was some kind of wiki breaking the models and their years of production, capacities, etc. down in some kind of list.
And how come there are FP2 and FP3 models with moving tables, and other FP2 and FP3 models in which the table is fixed and the head moves? Did they offer both kinds at the same time, or is one type a later version than the other?
