Yes I hate to trash good stuff. I will only get rid of old parts when I don't have any machines left in field. And even then seems like they hang around for a few more years. Only "working" machine I've thrown into a dumpster in recent memory, even with new drum, PM items about a month old, etc was a Biz 601 with 210k on meter. The crash when it fell into empty dumpster was such a great sound! Was almost as happy as when my first child was born
As I've posted on here before that model and all footprints, Di5510, etc,etc. I hated. Never met one I liked or one that liked me! Also posted it might have been a lot better if Kon/Min designed this machine with a waste bottle. What were they thinking with recycling toner in a high volume machine! Paper dust crashed developer around 100k.
Speaking of the 601/751 series machine with a waste btl. A member here (maybe end user) sent me a pm asking for a price of a used Biz 751 waste toner pipe, I tell him $25 shipping INCLUDED. He replies if i would take $15. I tell him no, price is $25 and was basically my time to take it off machine. Shipping will be at least $10 and I'm paying for it! So he said never mind and sends me attached pic saying everything working good. Must say I give him a lot of credit & guts to try this, technician or not. Just when you thought you saw it all......
