    What is the oldest machine you still service?

    Had a idea for new thread here,
    What is the oldest machine you still see and service out in the field?

    I will start it with a old Sharp SF-7320 at a school, last seen just before school ended this year, in May.

    I guess our oldest one still on the books is a canon CD-4046 scanner, installed April 1999.

    It's still going strong apart for the occasional call for a new battery unit. Over the past year we have been actively been encouraging our customers to up grade to new models with an emphasis on colour.

    We also have a customer with a Sharp SF-2022 but this is on a chargeable call out basis and only so long as we have remaining spares and can lay our hands on toner.

        I still have a few Sharp 2060 machines that are still working, although I've been able to offload much of their volume to newer machines.

        I've since retired some older Sharp machines that I just refused to mess with anymore.

            --- Well, I guess my wife is 41 now. --- OUCH!!!

            WD-40 and duct tape, right? If it moves, the duct tape will fix it, and if it doesn't, the WD-40.

              We had a couple of copiers in a Bakery place, which were NADs, installed in 1999.

              I've worked on a Russian C1 in a school which was running on 2.4 Million copies!!!!!!! The customer refuses to renew the machine.

              I know we have some analogs knocking about, and some copy-printers which are aging a bit.

                Hmm,

                Copier: Aficio 200/250 (just a very few left in the field) - we also have some Ricoh and Minolta analogue machines out there but I'm not doing these.

                          I have an Army Reserve center that still has a Minolta EP3050. The thing's been obsolete since 2004, but since it's a government contract, they managed to get a long-term renewal just before the model went obsolete, and we had to keep servicing it long after we stopped making parts for it.

                            Used to see some old SD 2060 and 2260 but most have gone bye bye.
                            I think churches are the worst for keeping old copiers.

                              QFT. Most get them used as donations in the first place, and then hold on to it until it falls apart.
