Lanier 6713 Copier synch problem

Re:Lanier 6713 Copier synch problem

One other note.

I did not notice the little silver spacer on the registration sensor as illustrated in the picture in this topic is missing on the one in my machine. Could it be that the sensor is hanging open causing the random registration problem?

Thank you for your comments.

I want to thank you for all of you help and suggestions.

I was able to resolve the problem once I figured out I changed out the wrong clutch. Initially I changed out the paper pickup clutch with the new one instead of replacing the synchronization clutch. They are identical and on the same side in the the copier. Once the new clutch was in the correct spot on the sychronization roller, the copier worked great.

This was definitely and beginner(idiot) mistake. If I have time I will post a picture of the assembly so others will not make the same mistake.

Again, thanks for your help.

Might take a look at this. I worked on one of these today changing the two clutch\'s. When you make a copy watch the right side door where the paper makes the bend around toward the alinging roller. This door was popping open, useally this is a clutch not shutting off, but I found something eles. When you have the alinging section out of the copier, place something inside the side door to hold it open. Look inside and you will see plastic guide fingers. Everyone of these had paper cuts! I filed down the cuts following with scottch Brite. The door does not even move now making a copy! Also as mentioned, check that there are 3 springs under the cassette lift. Good luck

I am new to this board and this is my first reply to any post. I am glad you resolved your issue with the clutches. I just want to add that Lanier published a bulletin a long time ago about your problem and updated the original clutches. It was recommended to replace them as a pair. I still see these machines in the field occasionally, but in my experience I have seen those clutches go bad many times.
