Ricoh MP 501 Parts

[StephenB]

Looking for confirmation if parts from a Kyocera 3655 are interchangable with a Ricoh 501.
I searched all the prior posts on this subject, found the toner is chipped different and not interchangeable. But posts vary for the Drum unit, dev. unit and fuser.
How about the Drum unit, Developer , Fuser and Feed tires... Are they interchangeable ?
It's just that Kyocera 3655 parts are much less expensive than the Ricoh 501.

I really appreciate any feedback

Both models looks like monocolour(B&W). Speaking in general I would go and make some own tests if the price difference is considerable.

I'm refering to a Ricoh MP 501spf B&W (made by Kyocera for Ricoh)

I was involved in a discussion about this about a year ago, but still haven't needed to go down this road, as I've been able to accumulate quite a lot of spare components from parts machines since that time, but it sounds like the answers are mostly "yes".

Thanks SandMan...I can testify the charge rollers are interchangeable.
But on older threads I see conflicting feed back, PCDU is interchangeable and another post the Drum unit pcb is different.
I'm pretty sure the Dev unit is interchangeable and also the fuser.

I just wanted confirmation from someone who has actually used Kyocera 3655 parts in the Ricoh 501.

Thank you for your input
