6501vs 6500 charger

[levino]

Hai,
Any difference between KM 6500 and 6501 charger units?

Thanks!!!!

No both use A03ur70300. However the C500 coronas work , but are approx 4 x the price!! Si

They are different. 6501 charge units are designed to use a height adjuster (to help eliminate uneven prints). I don`t know if they are compatable with each other, Ive never tried fitting a 6500 corona into a 6501 (or vice versa). If anyone has tried and results are ok please let me know so I can reduce my car stock !!!!
Part numbers are A0UR71200 = 6501, A03UR70300 = 6500. Cheers

6500 crg units in 6501 will bite you in the but! they only last a short while before causing cq and misting problems.

hai Tech51,

I also think these two are different,because the design of the body is different

Thanx

News to me we have been using the same(A03ur70300) with no ill effects whatsover for the last 9 months..... We cant have been that lucky surely!! Si

I agree with Si that A03ur70300 work with both but if you have a fussy customer try using the A03ur70300 housing with C500 gold coated grids for best results on copy quality.

Thats one thing I have noticed, these coronas can have either gold or silver grids....whats the go with that?

PS I haven't seen any issues with either though...

[Si@danwood]

The gold coloured grids intially were for the c500,the silver for the c5500/6500. Both are interchangable but the gold ones giving a prolonged life.However the gold units are approx 4 x the cost of the silver ones! This would be ok if they lasted 4 x longer which inevitably they do not!! So its a personal judgement/call which ones to use..Si

[StormyKnight]

Hmmm, perhaps the reason is that we have some coronas left over from the 8050 & they are gold.....

They still seem to work OK.
