Rubber Rabbit's Lapin


 My perforator which I call Lapin so that it fits in around here with all the bunnies!The photo is as it looked when I purchased it from a man retiring from the publishing business last year. He told a few other printers about it and I heard about it through this list and purchased it from him in Michigan; had it put on a pallet and shipped to me in Oklahoma.  The shipping was five times the purchase price!

  When it arrived it was dirty but not rusty or not working.  However the printed decided to help me out and oil it, thus clogging all the pin-holes.  By the advice of Greg Byrd and with my husband's help I dismantled the top, cleared each hole, reassembled and adjusted it so that it was level and it began to perf properly.  However, years of unlevel perfing had really worn the pins so I contacted Rosback and was able to purchase replacement pins.I only put new pins in about half the top, as I don't perf anything that is 27 inches wide, and I use only one piece of backing paper to assure flat backs to my perfing.  I can perforate anything between one and four sheets at a time.
