Ricoh CL4000DN C410DN Fuser Upper Cover needed

[jsulliva]

I could use some help, please. I originally posted this in the wrong forum. My apologies for that.
I need the Fuser Upper (Top) cover (black plastic cover) with the toothed bar which flips up (tabs marked A1). The A1 part got broken on my printer.
Ricoh Printer Parts Manual Group 12 Fusing Unit page 24/25:
Item 13 P/N G102 4375 "Fusing Cover: Upper" (same P/N for CL4000DN, C410DN, C411DN, C400DN).
I'm hoping someone with a worn out fuser wouldn't miss this part.
I think it is only held on by 4 screws from the top.
Please let me know how much and I would gladly pay postage as well. I really don't want to buy a whole new fuser for this one little part if at all possible as I'm on a budget.
Thank you,
John
P.S. If you are parting out a printer, there are a couple of other items I need. Let me know and I will provide details. I thought I would look for used before I purchase new parts. Thanks.

As 50 people have read this request for halp but no one has responed - I'm just curious. Many of you are Techs so would someone please tell my why there are no dead fusers out there that someone could help me with this? I'm envisioning that there would be a number of fusers junked by now and that someone who has replaced a number of them would have a pile of them stacked in a corner somewhere.
But that appears to not be the case.
Would someone please share with me why?
What has happened to all the old, worn out fusers, especially when someone buys a new one.
Or maybe the A1 lever on the cover gets broken a lot?
Thanks.
John

if it is the model i think it is, the fuser just comes out without screws. I personally tend to get a fuser sent out for the customer to change if it needs one, hence i don't get to remove the old ones as it would mean a return visit to simply insert a new fuser. maybe many other techs on here do the same and see it being easier to send out a new unit for the customer to fit. sorry, i know this does not help with your part, just putting a theory as to why no one has reponded.

That makes sense.
Thank you for the explanation.
