Thanks for this tip, Tim.
As you know, I'm typically pretty big on the use of genuine parts, and supplies, but admittedly I have been using some generic devs in these units, and while it perfoms quite well as far as image quality, and PM cycle, part of my rebuild has often included a new set of gears, which were showing serious signs of wear.
I'd been wondering why they get worn so quickly, when the very similar MP2000/2500 (for example) can run nearly forever without gear replacement.
While I'm confessing my sins
, I've been doing the same thing with my MP5001/5002, etc. series, and seemingly replacing more paddle roller bearings than I should be.
This explains a lot!
I'd been blaming poor design, but it seems it was more likely
"this guy" all along.
I'm going to track the performance difference with GENUINE dev.
I appreciate the advice!
