Dislikes: Not sure if this was ever posted before, what was the oldest machine that a customer just couldn't part with? I replaced the exposure lamp on a 1983 Canon PC-25. Just say no to dark copies!!

Royal 115 Great machine in 1984

The Canon PC25's were good too, unless you had to change one of those
main clutch packs, that thing was a pita.
Mine was a Mita 900D. It used zinc oxide photo-reactive roll paper, that cuts to size up to 11 x 17. It had a moving tabletop that was driven on a bicycle chain, and if it was placed too close to a wall could push itself right off a table when the tabletop moved. In my younger years I've moved one of these myself, though I wouldn't dare try it now.
I owned one of these personally up until 2000, and had (6) for spare parts. I don't know why, because they all had exactly the same worn out parts. The paper loses its photo-reactive properties, and turns light brown with age. The image on the copies fades away after about 6 years in a file cabinet, or 30 minutes in bright sunlight.
What a technological wonder! I believe it was from 1985. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

The oldest machine I ever worked on was a '49 studebaker pick-up.
Ok, I know you mean copier type machines ... but my resume is not very impressive since I have only been in the business since 2000. The oldest machine I have worked on was an old Lanier 6523.
(by the way, the truck is not mine)
Ricoh BS 2, Nashua 220. These machines used coated paper ( Zink oxide). There was no drum . The papaer itself was charged and exposed and then it used to pass , fully submerged, through the liquid toner tank. It is amazing to see how the technology kept improving year after year.
Thanks a lot to 'This thread starter'. I once again recall the revolutionary copier called ' RICOH DT 850'. A "LTT" ( Liquid Toner Technology) marvel. Any one, who appriciates technology, should see its 'counter' working. A mechanical 'memory'. Ricoh DT 5200 a better looking machine took Indian market by storm in 80's.
