Hello. I am looking for a functional copier that would have been available between 1985-1990. I am not terribly specific on brand but do have a couple of requirements on the type of machine I am looking for. I am specifically after a machine that does not have a document feeder and that the platen glass does not move when copies are being made. I am also looking for a machine that would have the original placed in the left center of the platen glass rather than up into the upper left hand corner. I realize this is rather specific but am after one for a certain purpose and function. Thank you in advance for any help and support.

Re: 1985-1990 Copier Wanted
I am intrigued with this post, what do you need this copier for, I'm guessing a film shoot?
From your specification I would suggest the Canon PC 7.

Re: 1985-1990 Copier Wanted
A Mita DC-313Z or DC-313ZD would fit that criterion. Sorry, I don't know where you would find one of those.If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: 1985-1990 Copier Wanted
Perhaps he needs to copy from old books and does not want to damage the binding. I remember there were kits for old copiers that we installed for libraries where the area beyond the glass basically fell away at an angle so a book could be laid on the glass without the need to add 50 pounds of force so print could be copied near the bound side of the page.
The specs have me wondering too.Comment

Re: 1985-1990 Copier Wanted
That is definitely part of it. I am mostly after something in my collection that I remember in a school. I am somewhat recreating a collection of old office equipment - a 3M Thermofax to make spirit duplicating masters, a Standard spirit duplicating machine, and now I am after the B/W copier. I am most after these specs because of nostalgia and not for any type of photo shoot or such. It's just an odd collection I am working on.Comment

Yes, I never really cared for the machines that had the moving platen. Typically on smaller machines and personal copiers if I remember correctly.Comment

Re: 1985-1990 Copier Wanted
Thanks! I am looking for something that would have been larger with the paper trays on the right and the output tray on the left. The machine I am also after would have the 11 inch side of paper coming out first rather than the 8 1/2 inch side. I did have a Canon PC6RE many years back and it was quite a nice machine. I am mostly looking for something for nostalgic purposes and not for a photo shoot or anything.Comment

Re: 1985-1990 Copier Wanted
At one time I had ALL of that and wish I had kept one working model of everything. When we moved to a larger building it all got tossed.
I had cases of AB Dick spirit duplicator fluid that I took home to start fires. I started fires I always gave it a sniff to remind me of my school days. Not that I sniffed the stuff but I did sniff the papers the teacher handed out like every other kid.Comment

Here is a Minolta 420, only difference is trays. There was a 410 before this. Use to work on these they worked very well.

There was a Canon NP 400 also.
Xerox and Canon had models like you are looking for also. I remember that timed thermal 3M copier that used one sheet at a time, not much went bad on that but that was older.
Did you want the units to work? Also where do you find space to put this Junk ).
Did you say you were in USA or not I forget.
Post some pictures of your other units, maybe someone can start post with pictures of old units we run into for fun!
Thanks for intriguing us.
If you post pictures start a post stating its pictures of old office equipment.Comment

I tried to throw this away but pops dropped by and put a stop to it. I suggested he take it home but that hasn't happened.
He has took up repairing antique clocks when he retired and now the front of the building is filled with over 100 clocks. When he gets bored he shows up and winds them all up and sets them to the correct time. I get to listen to them chime, cuckoo and ding for days. Someday it will all be MINE!Comment

The Mita DC-313Z or ZD still qualifies. Here's the photo from the brochure:
Mita DC-313Z.jpg
The brochure is a bit too large to attach here.If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
