Default Newbie with Eckold KF 309

Hi all,

I´m Axel and living in a small town near Nuremburg in Bavaria, Germany.

Sorry, my English is very bad.

I own six VW Käfer (between 1957 to 1965) and I have to learn more about metalshaping.

I´m interested in learning tips and tricks from those that have experience in this art.

Urgent I need a service-manual and/or repair-manual for my Eckold KF 309.
Also I need a list of spare parts with exposed view.

Kind regards Axel

welcome to AllMetalShaping Axel. I have emailed you a 309 manual. It has some exploded views. There are several 309 owners here. Unfortunately, Eckold does not offer much support for the 309's which means that many parts are not available. However, there are lots of ways to get past that with easily made parts. You'll need to ask for ideas regarding what you need. The 309 is probably the simplest of the Eckold machines.

This thread may be especially valuable to you:

Post some photos of your machine when you can. We like photos...
