After the T1 service error, when I open the scanner table, the screen mesh is at the top and I have to manually rotate the drum quite a distance before the clamp plate gets to the top again. I don't know if that information helps.
What you're describing about the master clamp plate being bent and the master removal hooks being out of position ... would this be damage to the machine or the drum?
I can probably write off this drum. But then, is it difficult to fix the machine & correct the timing etc.?
As you can probably tell, I am not a technician ... I am trying to learn how to fix this machine myself because the people that service Risos in Melbourne wont look at a machine this old :-(
Is it possible to explain how to resolve this Main Motor Lock Error problem? I read somewhere that there is a manual drum release under the cover at the back of the machine, near the power supply.
Thanks so much for your kind assistance. I truly appreciate it :-)
