    Do Riso GR/FR Drums fit inside the RA 4200?

    Hi,

    i am looking for Drum Units for my Risograph RA 4200 but can't find them anywhere.

    Now i have an offer for an FR/GR Drum. On the Photo it looks quite the same than my RA Drum.

    Does anybody know if they will fit?

    Thank you.

    I HIGHLY doubt it will work.
    I just looked on ebay and the first post doing a search for RA drum got me this Risograph Riso RA Drum RP/RN G1 Blue Ink Risograph - eBay (item 260595434652 end time May-11-10 11:54:20 PDT)

    Amazon "might" have them but I'll leave that up too you too look. There might be some guys on the boards that might have them as well. But I have to admit, an RA box is getting pretty dated. You'll still see GR stuff around because those were great boxes and people don't want to part with them.
    Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

      Thanks for your reply.

      I allready saw this one on ebay, the problem is,
      i am in europe and shipping this is pretty expensive.

      But if anyone on this board has some RA Drums left,
      and will ship to europe, leave me a message!

        The body is the same but the electronics are different. Pretty sure it won't work. Sorry, I don't have an RA parts manual around to cross reference anymore.
