I think that the drive motors are the same, so boards and software should make it quicker. I have never done this, so I cannot speak from actual hands-on experience. You'll have to check the part #'s for the boards and you'll see some differences......as this should be what you need to do.
If someone else has done this, they'll obviously have more experience on this that I have on upgrading the speed on a copier. I think it'll be a lot of money if you have to buy the parts, and cheap if you use a boneyard box. Side-by-side, they are not really any different. I have a 60 and a 75 side-by-side at one location and no one even knows the difference.
Probably the easiest options are:
1) Leave it alone.
2) Acquire a 75 cpm machine and either make it work or rob the boards and put it into a the 60 cpm machine.
Good luck on this one.

My problem is I don`t have a AF-2075 because these machines has 3-4 switces on bcu, and controller. I`m thinking ppm difference source is bit switces. For if it was different pieces if ricoh prepare for AF-2075`s parts catalog. But Ricoh don`t produce a parts catalog and don`t write this is a 2075 drive gear on parts catalog.
So I don`t wasting the time. Ricoh produce a machine after upgrade ppm. 55/60/75
There was no upgrade released by Ricoh to change a 60 ppm to a 75 ppm. If the customer wanted 75 ppm that is what was sold to them. That is just the way it is and probably always will be. In fact with the newer machines, if you do not replace a board with one from the exact model it will throw a service code and hose your NVRAM's and sometimes the boards.
I highly doubt that ANY technician with ANY ethics who may know of a way to do this is going to share this info here.
I have agree with the majority on this one.
"Sell the customer a 2075."
Think of it this way: If you want a car with a V8 engine, your don't go buy a V6 switch the engines.
sigpic Relax! This firmware injection won't hurt...but it will take 45 minutes.
There you go! 3 bucks and you are good to go (to jail for fraud)
Yeah, I know, I was just kiddin'. The question alone makes me laugh. Does he really think you can 'upgrade'to 75 cpm just by adding/replacing a few parts?
Actually, I think the systems are downgraded to the slower machines. I assume it can be done in the field, but why?
When I posted, I tried to be objective in answering what he was asking. I do think with boards and such it can be done, but it's way too much work and something would probably be overlooked and freak out some board and cause other headaches.
In my opinion, I would just leave it alone. I think he's going to do that, as he also realizes that it's not worth it.

Ricoh uses an embedded Net-BSD Operating System on their machines. When you can get your hands on the code, I think you can change the copy speed, but I think it's extremely difficult to do that.
