    Konica c458 hopper part obsolete?

    Morning all

    I've been informed from our supplier that the hopper assembly is obsolete....

    Can anyone confirm? I provided all the part numbers from the parts manual...

    TIA

      Not sure how that can be when you can still buy the "4" series hoppers. Plus thought parts had to be available for 7 years?

          That's what I thought....

          Maybe I have older version of the parts manual....

          Any chance you can let me know the part number from your manual so I can compare?

                  A79JR70711 is in Europe.

                          I highly doubt what they said.

                              In the US, the C458 isn't listed as End of Life until December of 2027. There should be no reason that you can not get that part, unless things are different across the way.

                              I wasn't able to use the European part number, but the US part number is listed as available over here.
