    Aficio 3235C Drum stay plate problem. Who did this?

    My first look at this unit, the customer sez they have to push the drum and dv
    units in from time to time.
    Someone busted the screw off for the drum stay. Screws 1 & 2. The hole they
    screw into contain the broken threads of both screws.
    Can these be replaced? I have not found a part number for them in the parts
    manual. I found the screw and srping numbers but not the thingy they screw
    into. What is that thingy called anyway?
    Also they have a Gestetner DSc 530. The transfer belt is ripped and they showed
    me a piece of black plastic from somewhere.
    These are my first two calls this morning.

    Any comments would be helpful

    Thanks

    DR

      I haven't looked at the back of the frame, but my assumption is the stand offs that get the screws tightened into are riveted into the frame. If they are, your easiest course of action is to drill out and retap the holes. If they are screwed in the back, you can submit a parts request on the TSC website.

      If the belt is ripped you'll have to replace it. You can get just the belt for that model.
      the savin2535 is displaying well bet the hiter lamp is not shining and the lamp had been tested o.k.please kindly help.
      Samir: No, not again. I... why does it say paper jam when there is no paper jam? I swear to God, one of these days, I just kick this piece of shit out the window.

          I just looked at one, and the stand offs are part of the frame. Your only course is what cobiray said, or, if there is enough chunk of screw to grab onto, back it out.

          Hope the rest of your calls are eaiser!

              I had the upper post fail and would just spin when I tried to retap it.
              I just pulled the post out of the frame and used a wood screw to hold it in.
              It has lasted 2 years. I just turn it till tight, not crancked.
              My only problem is that the screw is a flat head and not phillips.
              I have to change bits when I pull it.
              Why do they call it common sense?

              If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                  Thanks all
                  That's kinda what I was thinking was going to have to be done. This one does not have the torn transfer
                  belt. That is the DSc530. I think I have that one under control.
                  This one does however make a rubbing noise when it runs. Right now it is the only one of three
                  that is making copies, so it is last on my list.
                  The standoff on the top left is stainless steel, I am not sure how easy that will re-tap.
                  But I did not cause this problem, I will just fix it and get the $.

                  Thanks for all you inputs.
