Anyone have issues with the proof tray gate breaking repeatedly ?

You're taking about B700 2500 and B700 2505?

Replaced them too many times.
In my opinion the customer has to remove misfed paper and damages the upper gate. It's hard to get the jammed paper. It's only a small piece of plastic that is gone. The uppergate won't stay in position and causes more paperjams.
Let's call it 'poor design'. Replace both gates in 25 min. (after practice)

I know this is a old dead thread but any tips on changing the gate i tried to pull one out of a parts sorter and busted one of the spring retainers off the end.

so now I need to buy 2 of them. Id rather not make it 8 or 9 more i have to buy lol
