    The detailed descriptions are back, but as a separate document and not in the service manual.

      I really like this new one. It has a good xref right in the front. Saves me having to have a second document open before I can search for a solution.
      Puzzled tho, some of the entries in the problem/solution sections are highlighted different colors, I cant figure what the relationship is, Anybody know?

        Yes, I agree. The Xref is a big help. Thanks for this!
        As for the colours...I've noticed that often times there are duplicate entries for them, but just as often not....So it would seem that I have no idea either, but that's nothing new

          Thanks for the latest Goose Guide. I'm also glad to see they included the old Hot Topics, though it's interesting to see the difference between the newer Ricoh ones and the original Lanier ones. At one time, I also had a full version of the Lanier Hot Topics broken down by model, which was even more helpful.

          I try to always keep the Goose nearby: often it's good just as a memory jogger.

            Wow! Looks like the link is still active as of the time of this post. Y'all are welcome btw, its my good deed for the year to all my dearest colleagues who dare check before they call manufacturer (or local) tech support. Yeah this newer GG is making a bit more sense but I am also not sure about the colors. Xref saves time.


            Happy Trails,

                  whilst i appreciate that differing parts of the world each have their own unique power systems , i find it odd that a worldwide company like Ricoh finds it difficult to offer all pertinent info across the board for techs, in europe we have Tessa, in the Americas they operate with a different platform , this is effectively a duplication of effort and those people that could be freed up by streamlining could be tasked with delivering more constuctive solutions to modern problems that will arise as the complexity of new products grows.


                  Many thanks from the UK for the goose guide, it still holds true many of the theories forwarded.

                      Very nice, and much appreciated!
                      Man. You`re like some sort of Ninja Tech. We never see you coming. You swoop in, take care of a bunch of business, then you`re gone again for another few months. Very efficient indeed!

                                As an independant service tech in this bisness for 42 years now I greatly appreciate things like the goose guide and any technical help I can get from here. I try to offer suggestions when I can but am no match to all of you factory trained techs. I need this site to be able to discuss things with real techs to helpe solve problems for my accounts. I have not said this before but thank you all for the information I am able to get here.
