If memory serves, I thought Ricoh was winding down production of the 1027 PCU and only doing refurb units instead of completely new ones. It's been a long time since the LD 122/127 boxes so how much longer will Ricoh even keep the PCU around as an item?

Still readily available here in Canada from multiple suppliers, and I see that PR still carries them in the US, so I'm not sure

$234.95 US from PR. From $192.84 the $265.89 from Amazon.

Since the issue accured after a toner bottle change I'd still take a look at the hopper/bottle - berhaps the caps from the old bottle sits on top of the cap from the new bottle. Also check if the bottle turns and the bottle-cap-claw-mechanism inside the hopper works and the mylars are intact. >600k is a lot for these poorly crafted hopppers. Beside this like the other guys stated it's possible to install a T1027 PCU in case the DV gears/mixing mechanism is dead. In this case you should the that the PCU toner entrance unter the shutter is filled up with toner to the max.

Good afternoon,

I performed an inspection of the developer assembly. Both the IDLER GEAR (B039 3062) and the DEVELOPMENT ROLLER GEAR (B039 3060) were worn. Considering the number of impressions, I'm going to replace the whole DEVELOPMENT CASE (B209 3370).

Thanks to all of you for the assistance.

If the gears in the lower development case are mullered the ones on the mag roller will be too. It doesn't come as a complete unit.
