Any of you old timers remember working on Savin liquid toner copiers?
My introduction to the copier world started with the Savin 5030/5040 line back in 1990. A few months later I was trained on the Savin V35. All I worked on for my first year was liquid toner copiers. I do not miss them one bit. Lets hear some stories.
So I arrived at the local county college the the customer tells me, "You have to fix this! The machine keeps asking for supplies. We've put in 4 bottles of dispersant and 5 bottles of toner just this morning." I roll the machine away from the wall... AAAaaaaa 5 inches of sludge on the floor and the wall.
I just finished doing a PM on a Savin 7350 liquid toner copier. I add the dispersant. Hm, no toner. I ask the customer for a new bottle of toner. They hand me one that is missing the plastic cap. No problem, I see the foil seal is still in place. Oh, better shake this toner up before i put the bird feeder cap on it. No telling how long its been sitting around. Shake , Shake, Shake. Hm, why do I feel something splashing on me? (looks at the cloth covered cubical divider behind me) Oh @%&*! The seal was broken! (looks in the mirror and has a flashback to Seven King's Carrie) After adding the toner to the machine and making sure it worked ok, I had an embarrassing talk with the customer followed by a trip home to wash up and change my clothes. A few weeks go by and I'm in the office. My manager points to a large cloth board hanging on the wall with memos pinned to it. He removed some of the memos and asks me If I recognize the new memo board that our company had to buy from my customer.
