had it the other day, i fixed it by putting a 2nd hand drum in it. the new drum was in for less than half a day. PTSC say that the techs in Sydney are "adjusting" (stretching) the springs that put the pressure on the blade. I don't know how successful they have been.
would like to say i have a fix because i have been putting off fitting another new drum while the 2nd hand one works - don't know if i am just going to end up with more of the same.
Cheers.

Yes, only one in territory. Flipped about 5 blades so far. No.

Waiting for KM to come out with a CB that is has more meat and just a bit longer (in the short dimension) to cut down on the incidence angle to the drum.

Konica releases a firmware fix for this 30GCA, however I dont know how well it works. I have installed this firmware on a notorious c6500 for this issue. I think they called back one more time after that for blade flip. I havent heard anything else about it since then. Its been a couple of months.

Check the database, there are alsosome dipswitches to set, I recommend maxing out those settings.

Some success with stretching the original (gold) c6500 springs or fitting c500 springs(better bet).Know of one that flipped with c500 springs. I swopped c500 blade and springs and fitted it to c6500 drum, great success. Have a go.
