I found these old brochures in a box of old parts going into dumpster. Now I will have nightmares about the EP4301, one of the worse copier ever made by "Minolta" (before the Konica merge).

For me, it was the EP-4230 being the worst Minolta copier.

Ha-ha. Yes the 4230 was another one I had a bad relationship with
. In all fairness, most, if not all copiers of that era had their issues. I edited my OP to "one of the worst". Still have legacy Konica as my worse OEM ever, 1290, etc. Then the merge with Konica and they brought their crap with them, one being the Di-5510 footprint that later became the biz 600/601, another Konica flop. Still baffles me that an OEM would think you could recycle waste toner on a 50/75 ppm models and not crash the developer with paper dust, etc. Poor design they stuck with for over 10 yrs.......

i had one of those old ones where the whole platen moved side to side, didnt like it.
also any machine the clamshell piston was useless.
fax 2600 and 3600 can really be the worst.
We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
The medication helps though...Comment

Oh yeah the clam shell design, don't think there was a machine where the gas shocks didn't fail. This includes all OEM's. They use to say you weren't really a tech until the top half of machine fell on your hand
. They were about as useless as the hatchback shocks on a Ford Pinto!

The three stitches to my left hand thumb knuckle that I had in the late nineties totally agree with with that last statement!

worst royal to work on was the 110, closely followed by the 145. 145 would kill my digital watches if i wore them behind to set currents.Comment

Nope, I don't miss the clamshell days. Think two of my favorite (?) memories about the 1290RE were both in a very rural area, found a dead snake in one and a dead mouse in the other and it was full of dog food. Also really don't miss the good ol' days of chain smokers in their offices, "light copies" was a guarantee.Comment
