The operator told me that the tech said it could all be retimed by unpinning, moving and then repinning the mated drive gears between the 2 out of time units and the rest of the press, which sounds like a major PITA to me ! He told me the 2 out of time units are a full .125" out of time with the rest of the machine. Hard to imagine a company layin out the kinda big bucks for such a machine and then not even being able to utilize it to its full potential.

I was at their shop to oversee removal of a ZT-100 Planeta, ever heard of 'em? They're a really bizarre 40" letterpress and this one is converted to a die cutter. This machine was built in East Germany while it was still under Communist rule !
