I got this unit for free with extra toner. I really just needed the ARDF and network scanning but having a color laser duplex would be awesome. My question is this:
Would it be worth putting $200-$300 in this machine to make it functional. The ARDF refuses to scan anything more than a single sheet without jamming one-inch into the paper path. The separation or exit roller (I think) has/had foam rollers that have disintegrated. The transport roller is missing 2-3 of the rubbers. I believe the "platen sheet" is missing. I think that's it, just to get the ARDF functioning.
I need to replace 2-4 of the PCU/Drums and probably a 2-4 of the developers. It refuses to pull paper from Tray 1, but 2-4 seem fine.
Even if things went my way, which it won't. Would I have a decent machine for the parts I have to replace? Are the various rollers for the ARDF and the paper path still available?
Thanks for tolerating a noob's questions. I am not against just taking this to the scrap yard but I cannot afford a duplexing ADF scanning color laser from what I see available in the used market.
