Are you a technician?

[Morlock49]

Also on the theme of being a tech, how many of you have done the saleman's job but never got the same rate of commission/payment?

[mascan42]

Also how can anyone consider themselves a tech without 1st electrocuting themself (accidently touched the gate on a triac), and getting their tie wrapped around an optics cooling fan (early Sharp).

I got the first one from the optics overheat fuse on a Xerox 5114 during training. Oops, did we forget to mention that turning the machine off doesn't remove current from the exposure lamp circuit?

I'm not a tech, I just take their calls for them

I hit one of the fuser lamp terminals on a Lanier 6550 (Toshiba) and learned real quick what a hazard neutral switched circuits are. I also learned the metal case of a Ricoh Katana developer assembly carries developer bias, and was never so thankful as when the machine shut down and threw a bias leak SC code.

Never did the tie thing - I try not to wear them for customers that have become regulars...
