Two oopsy's spring to mind.Both in my early days around 1980.The first was after servicing a Toshiba BD608 in a school during the holidays,it had to be pushed on its trolley back into a store cupboard.The trolley was a home made one by the customer too tight to buy the proper cabinet.I pushed the copier to the cupboard,one of the wheels suddenly stopped.The top which was not screwed on and the copier ended up on the floor,with the copier on its side. The caretaker helped me lift in back on the trolley.Not a mark externally but terrible paper skew for the rest of the copiers life.Schhh.
The other was also in a school around the same time.I was servicing a Roto 613 offset.The machine was tempory placed in the school hall because a new floor was being laid in the Reprograhic Room.The new floor had already been laid in the school hall, they were navy blue vinyl tiles.I had just finished the service and was tidying up.I reached over to put the top back on the can of MEK I had been using and accidently knocked it over.Instant melt down of 4 vinyl tiles in the dead centre of the hall.Oooops.
I haven't always been accident prone,honest,
and I have just completed 32 years in the trade
