Here goes....I went ahead a bought a Deckel FP2 sight unseen at auction (off with his head)....well actually there was the typical auction house blurry picture containing enough detail to make out the rough outline of the machine and colour. The deal is done so there's no point in chastising me now, plus you'd have to get in line behind my wife. Anyway, there's no shame in this game - one only comes along every decade here, it was a decent price and I had the money, so I did it.....Now for the fun, the auction house has given me a deadline to remove it and won't let me do it myself because I am a private individual (i.e. don't have WSIB insurance - Ontario's form of workplace insurance). Thus I have to pay riggers to do it ....it was a good deal up to this point ! Anyway long story short, I have looked for dimensions, but can not locate the base size of the machine or the leveling pad to pad dims. Would anybody be kind enough to provide me this and the weight of the machine also. I could obviously measure it myself but it is a 7 hr drive away and my boss is not inclined to give me an unscheduled vacation day, even for a Deckel. If you're going to patronize me on making an impulsive purchase or buying a machine that I haven't checked out first, or not searching the forum I'll give you my number and you can call me and say it to my face, well my ear really. I'm in a bind here, you can either help, for which help I'd be extremely grateful, or you can be d**k, in which case don't respond. Bear in mind also that I probably saved the machine from a dealer hack that would probably have painted it with a brush, sanded the ways to make them look clean and sold it in a month for 3 times the price. Thanks very much.
