Anyone know of good places to check for more obscure Windmill parts? I’ve been troubleshooting problems with the guides on my press for a while and just now realized that the support bracket for the whole system, the one that’s bolted to the lower drive-side of the platen, has a huge crack in it and it’s not really connected to the press at all.

I’ve submitted a wanted ad, but I’m guessing I’m going to have to go somewhere that keeps weird parts around to find this one. Part T2001, page 107 of the parts catalogue.

Get ready for sticker shock—Heidelberg parts (especially new) are expensive.

Good luck,
Brad.

Yep, two small pieces of cast iron are $500 in Heidelberg’s world—used.

Can’t afford to not have a register system though, so I did make the order. Nice to be able to get it straight away, I guess….

Thanks for the recommendation, Whittenburg was very helpful.

I have found this very helpful at times

if you have a diagram of the part, or the original you could probably get one made at a local machine shop.
