I knew it wasn't going to be easy to get to, but did not anticipate stripping the machine to the frames.
It's pretty obvious that the power supply has to come off, but who would have guessed that every cover, the formatter, the scanner assy, the printer's upper cover and frame, and the stapler would all have to come off just to get to the pickup solenoid. Specifically the foam sound damper.
The machine was in a general purpose print room. I had no less than 5 people standing around and arguing loudly through the whole operation, with the typical pointless questions: "Do you really have to ...?" ""We all really hate this machine ... "
I think it's the milling around that is the most distracting. I've got 50+ parts and boards lined up on the floor in an area 3 ft x 3 ft, and I've got to keep an eye on them while working on the machine, so that some careless individual doesn't march on the formatter board or grind the screws into the carpeting.
I was quite glad to have the machine re-assembled, no screws left over, and it actually f'ing worked! =^..^=
