AB dick K627 AKA Xerox 1065 5065 5365 cleaning blade for a photoreceptor belt WTF were they thinking!!!!!??? and a plastic type housing for fusing rollers that had oil sump resting in it that would eat away at the plastic and put potato chip grease like stains on the output jeesssh I think this was beginning of end Of Big X
Its Electrictoner

You forgot the center piece that the hoses for the fuser agent clamped onto. They used a power screw driver to mount those and more than 1/2 of those cracked, leaving a nice (Slippery) slick puddle of Fuser Agent under the machine. Those machines were where I learned that RMFD stood for Ruined My F--king Day.

I'm starting to think anything with Toshiba on it...grrr

Being based in the workshop I was given the job of replacing the old Toshiba 2500, due to bad copy quality and the fact the company didn't want to spend any money on it.

I was given a Toshiba 2820 which had come back with 'low copy count'

The feeder skewed and jammed intermittently, after stripping it down a small stone fell out. I reassembled it thinking I had fixed it....

Time being what it is and knowing my boss wouldn't want me spending a hour on this I swapped it for another 3018.

Some people would say a doc feeder is the same regardless of manufacturer..

The Monroe 4035 was always breaking down for some reason or another never should have been
made. junk machine and I could mention a couple others

The Canon NP-200. the first dry mono component toner machine produced. They put the LFA right above the toner hopper, which threw the dust on the bottom of the LFA which caused dirty copies. It had a moving platen, and also the worlds worst drum compensation system which constantly needed adjustment.

Kyocera had a fire sale on their remaining C4008s. My boss thought it'd be a great idea to buy 10 of them. Since then we've lost 10 customers.

i would have thought the canon np120 was would have been the first monocomponent m/c of canons. the one with a 16 kilo fuser unit that ran on pressure only. please correct me if i'm wrong, but worked on a couple of 120's years ago
