Do you have a copier at home?

[Robert Sveinson]

I/WE have three copiers at home.

Several years ago I got wind of a
Xerox 5028 that needed parts to
get it going. The owners had been
in touch with Xerox sales for a quote.
X sales gave them a deal because they
are a charitable site, and trading
in the 5028 would make any diference
to the price.
Any way when I heard about this one
I went to see the people and find out
what was happening.
They did in fact get a new one from
Xerox. I asked if they would take $300.00
for the 5028 as it is. They said yes please,
and we did the deal.

Now I was able to scrounge enough
parts to get it working again.

I also called XEROX so that I could
put a service agreement on it,
because I have seen the prices for
parts.
I paid the 1 hour service charge and
put it on "service".
This machine was a christmas gift
to my wife who is a school teacher
and she hasn't always been able to
use the copiers at school for
her lessons.
Then she retired, and I let the service
agreement lapse.
After she had enjoyed being "retired"
for a couple of months, she went back to work.
Reserected the 5028 but without
a service agreement and it worked just
fine until a year ago, when the exposure
lamp, or other parts broke.
No service agreement!
When it broke there was only 2 more months
of school for her so I wasn't feeling
any heat about HER Xerox m/c.

And lucky me! An acquantance of mine
told me that his company were about to
trash their copier, as they were getting
some thing new.
I was very lucky!!! They "gave" me the
machine, and I took it home to lots of
cheering.
This machine is a Xerox 5334 with lots of
toys on it. The photo receptor belt
had a blank spot, so I changed the P/R
belt using one of my 5028 belt.
Success!
Every thing on this machine worked,
including all the paper trays, etc.
I do not know what happened, but
I could get it to feed paper out of
one drawer. We could work around that.
N ow I believe that the scorotron
in the CRU is dirty and giving not
so good copies. I looked at it for a bit
but did nothing. And that will change
when school starts again.

So that is 2 copiers at home.

I kept watching the BUY AND SELL
sites hoping to scoop some thing useful.
I spotted an ad for a Xerox 5034.
A machine that I would prefer.
Phoned the telephone number and
was told that I was 3 hours too late.

Checking the BUY AND SELL again
I spotted an ad for a Xerox 1020.
I jumped on that one right away.

As I have some experience on
the 1020 I thought that I was in heaven.
Went to look at the machine, and it
did not look like any 1020 I have seen!
Bought it any way because it works.
The machine is really an XC1020
which I have never seen.
I hope it works long enough until
my wife retires again!

There that is now 3 copiers in
my basement.

Many years ago (25 years)
I had a customer with
a 4000, that was giving lots
of grief. I maintained that it was their
inexpensive paper.
It all came to a head when Xerox
replaced it with a *newer* 4000.

I asked to have the machine
delivered to my basement and I had my wife
use it as much as possible and she did.
There was not any problem with this
one that I could find,
but it was fun to play with it.

There have been many "shudders"
on this site when Xerox 4000
is mentioned.
Shudder?? Not me.

And my wife still loves me.

My wife went to a yard sale a few years back and drug home an old Royal analog. Not sure which model. I nursed the fuser along for a time but it's shot and I will not pay for what parts can be founf for it.

So it's just sitting there keeping the concrete from peeling.

[kwazimoto]

yes I do it is a minolta got it as a trade it came with 3 cases of toner when it dies I will junk it and get another one..LOL.. I am a canon tech but have but was a minolta tech...

[fixthecopier]

Yep, sure, I thought I hit the jackpot when I went on a call for a full size Cannon Imagerunner with a bad door switch. I sold em a Lanier LDO15 and they gave me the Cannon. It has sat in the Garage for 4 years and never made a copy. I had someone give me an HP4600 when I sold them a new printer. I couldn't give that thing away. It needed a new magenta and yellow and I would not pay $300 to print. I have a Lanier lp122 I put together out of parts machines.

[SGT_Snacks-64]

I really want a Stella for home, but one that could support Scan to Folder would be what I'm really after =(

No copiers, an Ink Jet printer we never use and atleast enough parts for 7 PCs =\

[mjarbar]

Do you keep a copier at home.

Yes I do, a Canon MF3110 all in one which I use more for scanning than anything else.

I used to have a NP6621 for coping but got sick of servicing it. I did also have the back panel frame of a GP605 which I turned into a light fitting using cabinet spot lights shining through various points, it looked good but weighed a ton, which is when I found out that my walls couldn't take the weight and half the plaster came down - but it did look good!!!

[Cipher]

I have a cheapo all-in-one inkjet which I mainly use to scan the odd thing here and there.
If I need anything more done I just do it at work.

[Ctl-Alt-Del]

NO, I have a shitty inkjet all in one if I need a copy of something.

[Jules Winfield]

I used to have a Mita Ci-1100 years ago. The NIC went out on it, rendering it it useless to me. I remember it was a real pain in the ass to dispose of. I think I'm better off with the little inkjet all-in-ones...

[E Winter]

No - I don't even have a printer @ home

[Jaws]

I have an Epson Stylus Pro 7000 plotter, Hp DesignJet 1050c plotter, Sharp AL1531, Pitney Bowes C500 with staple and sort, Xerox Phaser 6250 and a Xerox 7300.

[Vista Tech]

My fiance decided to buy a brother color laser MFC last year and try to surprise me with it. I told her if she has any problems with it I'm not gonna fix the damn thing.

[sdrawkcab]

Hmmm, not sure if this qualifies, got a Multilith1250 printing press and an Eskofot platemaker, well i guess its reproduction equipment.

[JSC]

I have a Kyocera FS1118MFP. One of my customers gave it to me when we upgraded it as they didn't want to keep it. Only done 21K, Prints,copies, and scans..............
