I just wanted to throw this out to anybody that has to still work on these poorly designed machines. This was our modification to the duplex gate for when the gate plastic grooved out the paper transport plastic causing paper jams because the paper slammed into the gate (sorry I don't remember the jam code). Local hardware store to get washers, a piece of brass tubing and some epoxy. We started doing this to all machines when they were brand new because the epoxy needed time to set up overnight. Plus the gate had to move correctly when you got done. We also added the rubber sep pad from a Riso to help control the "bounce" of the gate. Never had a problem once this mod was done to the machines. Now only a couple still remain in the field.
Had fun tearing this one down for the scrap yard though!!!
