What is the oldest machine you still service?

Two days ago, i get a call from a drugstore for clearing a paper jam.
On my arrive, i couldnt believe my eyes... i spotted a Canon PC10, a copier build in late 80's.

PC10/25 series would live for ever if you can keep platten drive block working. I still see them from time to time in the feild.

We have one client that simply refuses to upgrade from an old Ricoh FT-4522. I think we finally threw away the one we had in the back that we used for spare parts.

Customer bought in a Ricoh 3320 the other day. Said we should fix the front cover switch. Those were lovely machines to service. The guy is a real asshole, so we shoo'd him away.

As Sharkie reported on old copiers,I visited and was able to produce a reasonable copy on a Ricoh FT3320 yesterday,circa late 1980's.Copier had done a little over 45K.Another one to add to our mausoleum of copiers

I just serviced a Ricoh 4215 and got it making beautiful copies. It's strange how I forget things about the older machines. Like how to remove the fuser, etc.

I guess our oldest one still on the books is a canon CD-4046 scanner, installed April 1999.

It's still going strong apart for the occasional call for a new battery unit. Over the past year we have been actively been encouraging our customers to up grade to new models with an emphasis on colour.

We also have a customer with a Sharp SF-2022 but this is on a chargeable call out basis and only so long as we have remaining spares and can lay our hands on toner.

Just going through some old records and have found a Sharp FO600 fax mach installed 2/1/1989 and a Canon NP6045 installed 7/1/1989. Officially my companies oldest machines.

At a Print shop I have 2 EP4050 and 2 EP6000's they just don't want to give them up till they die a hard death.

Not sure when the last PC10 was built, but I went to the very first school on it... in 1982!!!

From my experience, unfortunately a DC1415 Will just about run forever.
