Surely Ricoh's MPC 6000/6501 (Venus C2/C3) range has to be in with a shout? Also known as the hoover killer- need I say more? Biggest POS they've EVER produced and I worked on the 5733 so that's saying something!

Minolta 650z. Some of you people were not born yet when I was working on them. A ton of modifications that took hours. Then of course the owner got a deal on a bunch of them that were new in box but had sat on shelf so long rollers were flat. Sent out a flyer saying you could save $5000 off new machine. He bought them for several hundred dollars each. Sold a bunch and were calls daily. In those days almost every set up had a problem that was not easy to fix. When it got to when you could set up a new machine with no problems I thought I had reached heaven!

Savin 840! Streaks & lines, streaks & lines - did I mention streaks and lines?
I think it was the DC-161 and DC-162re that if you got a paper jammed in the registration section, the only way to get it out was to scratch the shit out of the 40K yield drum. Yeah! That and cleaning charge coronas.
I remember billing a church customer for a new drum on a DC-131. The next day the enduser got a drum wrap. To get it out, she removed the primary and cleaning corona units, bend a nice loop of coathanger, and fished out all the little penny sized bits of paper. She (and I!!!) was so disappointed when she saw all the scratches she had made in her one-day-old drum. I had quite a time explaining that drum warranty does not cover scratching with a coathanger. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

I remember setting up developer, you had slowly dumb in the dv unit. The caps were metal and once in a while I would contact the mag roller and get a little shock.
Anyone up for an SCM 1200? Panasonic 2520?
Hand up for the 60+ CPM machines!...when they hit the 1.5 to 2 million mark, expect the developer unit to fail in the rear and take out every single f*cking paper feed unit!!!....Pieces of SH!T!!!
