I remember working on Gestetner 2130, don't remember the Mita number....Anyway, unplugging and plugging the unit, you had a 50/50 chance of blowing the Power Supply. Sadly, took a little while to this figure this out. P.S became standard car stock.

Are you talking about the Mita that the pwr supply was on top under moving table exp glass. It would get so hot that the cover would turn brown from heat. Was it the Mita 152z ? That was a decent machine for back then. Put in same category as the Toshiba 3301, a good small box.
finishers with 20 or more trays moving up and down, or worse still the dreaded Tandem finisher with 40 or 50 trays
People never believe me when I tell them about 3m box, think there was an orange one, and possibly a blue one, people were always putting the pink sheet the wrong way round, if I remember the talking sharp could've been the 781, remember the sharps had a separation tape under the drum, which were always splitting, think they came with a new master,
some of the sharp faxes were a nightmare, when they misfed, you had to remove the roll of paper, then switch it on with the roll removed, otherwise it didn't clear the misfeed, had a colleague who kept diagnosing a board fault, as the misfeed wouldn't clear, he just couldn't get it....
Tip for the day; Treat every problem as your dog would.....If you cant eat it or f*ck it....then p*ss on it & walk away...
