Today I had a MK-716 PM kit to install. There were a few arc marks on the copies (and the drum, of course), and a few schmears on the slit glass. No big deal, a straight-forward PM.
After removing all the old consumables I start to vacuum, but something doesn't look right ... you know how it is. You don't know what it is, but something isn't right. Then I get it. There are supposed to be three vertical feed switch flags. There used to be three, but now the top one seems to be missing. It must have been hanging by a thread, and the vacuum sucked it up.
Since I didn't have the original flag, I removed the bottom one for a template and began to fashion a paper clip actuator. Then my brain began to function.
Dumbass! Put the intact flag at the top and the broken one at the bottom. It's sitting on a cabinet, so that bottom switch will never be used, only the photointerrupter must be blocked.
I may be slow, but I can get there eventually. =^..^=
