[Current Date] Used for: Restoring and operating a Deckel FP2 (circa 1960s–70s)

If you own an FP2, you need this manual. However, don't expect a glossy modern tutorial. This is a period-correct technical document. It is invaluable for parts identification and basic operation, but thin on repair procedures.

Useless without it, but not a complete repair guide. A solid 4 stars for keeping these beautiful machines running.

Buy the best scan you can find. Do not buy the $10 eBay low-res PDF; spend the $30-$50 for a high-resolution version or a printed reproduction from a known machinist supplier.

I have written this in the style of a machinist or toolroom owner reviewing the document's usefulness. The Bible for the German Masterpiece – but know what you are buying Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5)
