    MP C7500 LD160c PM Parts

    I've taken over service on a few of each of these from a laid off tech.
    I was wondering what, if any, PM parts from the C7500 are backwards compatible with the 160c. Being a colour machine with some big differences from the predecessor I figure most parts won't carry back, but it's worth a shot to only have to carry one set of parts.

    Thanks for any insight...

    Pretty much none of the parts are the same.

      ...and it will take you 3 times as long to rebuild the PCU's

      ...and they won't run nearly as well.

      ...and the developer will probably not initialize correctly.

      ...and the density will fade.

      ...and it still doesn't like heavy stock papers.

      ...and the fireflies will eat you alive.

      but on the plus side, the heat roller doesn't peel every 200k

        All the above is true! You are going to hate these machines! Very few parts are compatible. You may want to try and get that tech back - no one wants to work on these overrated underperforming nightmares.

          I don't think the PCU's take any longer to rebuild it's just different. The only problem I have been having are the charge roller lines.

          BTW the one I took the lube bar out of the cyan on is still running fine it's been 30k so far.
