Wait 'till ya get a faulty Main Drive Unit. A real treat to replace...... The most harnesses you will ever remove & replace.

And I thought cleaning the scanner assembly on these little bastards was bad.

Anything that says Ricoh on it. I think Ikon made a huge mistake switching from a nice box like Canon to a sorry excuse for a copier made by Ricoh.

I agree

I still don't really understand the logic of that merger......

Back in 1999, Canon was supposed to buy IKON (when the stock was barely at $2 a share), but pulled out at the last minute for reasons still unknown.

iirc, Ikon was being sued by their shareholders at that point in time.

It was an easy decision for Ricoh. Ikon sold Ricoh machines, but was also their biggest competitor with the Canon side of the business.

At least they didn't go for the cliche and put the Geto Boys on the soundtrack.

The Savin "PRISM" color machine from the early 80's, also the Savin color bacnk that went in to the V35 liquid machines.
