    Hi,
    I have a Heidelberg GTO 46 2 color. We had lighting strike near by the other day, and though nothing else in the building was affected, now the press will not run. The motor tries, but the brake is locked. I was running it just a few minutes before the lightning struck and the power went out. I sure would appreciate any help I could get.

    We checked all the fuses first thing. We had to get a Heidelberg electrician in. It ended up being a 20 dollar relay, but it took him 2 days to find it.

    Thanks for the reply.
