Anything with "California" in the branding has got to be something to steer clear of :-)

Double, double toil and trouble;. Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Filet of fenny snake,. In the cauldron boil and bake....

So much for humor.

"H Guy"?? Hickenlooper? Heisenberg? Oh! The meth guy on Breaking Bad? I thought he died! That's show biz for ya. Maybe he's spiking the pizza with a little "blue", thereby all looks juuuuust fine.

Gordo, you sly dog, you!

Good Evening, Ink Man! A previous post reminds me of a quote by Friedrick Nietzsche..."He muddies the water, to make it seem deep".

Preventive Maintenance???? That is sooo 1980's, Asif! :-)

That there is, alibryan. Over the years, I've run across many repair instances that could have been avoided if the pressmen had received the instruction that was standard in the past. Now, its "Joe quit yesterday, Rob, you're on the 29" Heidelberg starting tomorrow".

Hi Robb - Having not seen any postings from you recently, I was wondering if you were seeing the results you just posted and, not wanting to jump to conclusions before you knew there was truly improvement, waited to share your results...or, you were just helping me save face for steering you in...

Alois!!! Third rate? One of the greatest comedians of our time? I mean really...he rates right up there with Sacha Baron Cohen, Andy Kaufman and Al Franken. Guess I should have found a quote from Graham Chapman or Terry Jones :-).

In the words of Larry the Cable Guy..."I don't care who you are, that's funny right there". You go, Turbo!

Better make it a thorny hedge.

My money says we just resolved your problem. Keep us posted on results!

Robb - I've done very little service work on PM/SM52 machines over the years, but I know on most SM machines there is a grease zirc on the front face of the inner gear of the plate cylinder double gear assembly. This zirc lubricates the brass bushing the outer gear rides on...if the bush is dry...

Very insightful, Alois. But Robb previously mentioned press electronics does not indicate the movement, hence, pot failure may surely be discounted as relative to this malfuncation :-)

Just my way of saying I'm a Heidelberg mechanic, as it was mentioned that there were none volunteering info on this thread. From what ive seen over the years, there are very few of us involved in these industry forums...maybe because so many of the press problems discussed really can't be done...

Junker1984...33 years wrenching on Heidelbergs...and attempting to keep the train on the tracks.

Hey! Lighten up, Alibryan! Like the "million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually produce the entire works of Shakespeare"...the more ideas on this that are thrown out there, eventually someone will hit on the answer :-)

That's what I'm leaning towards, given the description of the problem.

Robb - I can't see how this could be anything but plate cylinder double gear issues, whether due to lack of lube or failure of mechanical components. You mentioned earlier something about the expense of a gripper job and no gaurantees by Heidelberg that it would remedy the "drift"...if a...
