Lanier LD140CSR can't find replacement Drum and Dev assy's...

[Foo]

I appreciate the constructive help here...
That being said, I have a service and a parts manual for a MP C300 and know this is the crossover model.
I also have been in this business 18 years. And remember having toner bottle / toner hopper fitment between Lanier, Savin, Gestetner and Ricoh.
Drum cartridge issues between Xerox and it's cross over Sharp models.

Manufactures love doing this brand specific part stuff: Ford and Lincoln, Buick and Pontiac, Lifelike and Walthers(LOL model train stuff).

I was told not to buy these 2 items (Blk Drum and Dev) per tech support at PR.
Why you ask...possible part fitment issues between Lanier LD 140csr and its crossover Ricoh MP C300.

So I came to you folks with a more hands-on knowledge of the issue and hopefully better answers.

So without all the extra does someone know if these 2 items:
M0263034 = Black Dev. unit
M0262024 = Black PCU
are a direct fit to the Lanier LD140csr that I'm working on?
BTW PR guy said it was a connector fitment issue.

Best I can tell and despite the tech support advise, I'm thinking the will work fine.

If you have hands-on knowledge please advise me.

Thanks so much for all your help.

I too have been there with the older b/w copiers and have a few mpc300s i am going to work on.
I will tell when i check my savin vs ricoh,but i think they are all the same on these units..
worse case you have to pull the harness and td sensor,which i ve yet to do..
I have two sets of SPC430DN drums that I know I will figure how to work in the c300/c400 series..

There is no difference between the Ricoh MP C400SR, the Savin C240SR and the Lanier LD140CSR other than the model sticker on the front. The only model I have worked on that had fitment differences between Ricoh and RFG models was the Lanier 5455/5470.

Thanks...I think I'm confident in ordering a set and seeing what happens.

I be back and let anyone left wondering what happens.

Ordered these and installed them.
No fitment issues or machine setup issues.

Thanks for the suggestions and advice!
