Crowdfunding campaign launched to move antique Heidelberg

A crowd funding campaign has been setup to support the Penrith Museum of Printing to relocate a rare 1939 Heidelberg Zylinder Automat printer.

The volunteer run museum, with NFP status, has been gifted a rare 1939 Heidelberg Zylinder Automat printer, which was until recently printing The Don Dorrigo Gazette. The antique printer is situated 575km north of the museum, and requires specialist handling and transport.

The estimated cost to decommission, transport and relocate the printer is $5,000, which is the target of the campaign.

All donations to the cause will receive a craft-printed certificate of appreciation, printed on the Heidelberg.
