Old Adkins are cream/blue

New Adkins/Insta mainly creamy colour
PressMech are white/blue depending on age
Jarin mostly blue, but some were bradned as different companies, some being red (there's possibly one of these red ones on there at the moment, but hard to tell from the photo!)

We breifly had a yellow TexiPress, but I think my wife sold it to a friend who wanted one before we even used it. So, can't comment on what they're like. With a drawer style lower base, they're a good compromise between a swing and clam.

I once (in the last 12 months I think) saw on Ebay an old green Adkins press, which was exactly the same design as a present day PressMech!
Useful post! I'm looking at getting a second press and been scouring eBay on and off for the past few weeks. Seems I've already missed some bargains though.

Perhaps it may be worth setting up some kind of gentlemen's agreement so we aren't all bidding up each others presses ;-)
