Ok this will be a variation on some of the other stuff. This is something another tech or a customer did that just defied imagination.
I will start us off.
Shortly after I started in this business there was a guy who got hired on where I was at. He had just retired from the Navy and fancied himself very good with electromechanics and soemthing of a wiz at field engineering.
You may start to guess where this is going.
This guy went on a call to a high profile car lot in the area (BMW). It was a Lanier 6745 that was having trouble with pages sticking to the belt in the document feeder.
Here was his solution: First he decided the problem was related to static, therefore he got out his roll of "metal impregnated tape" which he hooked to a screw on the back of the feeder and fed it down where he taped the other end to the glass.
Then he went and borrowed a can of hair spray from one of the women in the office there and proceeded to spray down the document feeder belt and the feed/seperation rollers.
All the while butting in on a conversation two of the women were having about one of their children who was a problem.
My supervisor had the sprayed parts in a baggie at our next tech meeting.
The guys name became a verb like "Googling" and we used the term often when someone did something really off.
Next....
