    Worked on a Mita DC-152 about a year ago, I think it was 20 or so years old?

    I have no idea how old it was, but I have never seen another one like it. It was called a "band printer". It was huge. It had all of the letters and numbers stamped into a metal band that was on two metal pulleys that moved back and forth while a hammer struck the letters against an ink ribbon. Kind of like a typewriter from a tech's nightmare. I was so proud I fixed it, I had only been in the biz for a year.

    Xerox 3100

    The first copier I worked on was a Xerox 3100, It was built in 1973 and it was 1985 when I worked on them. You would return home everyday coated in toner. Roger

    Oldest machine worked on.

    The oldest copier I ever worked on was an Olivetti- Canada Copia II model. This was the first copier they made. It was a liquid coated paper unit, console design. The year was 1967. Didn't work very well so they ended up going to Sharp to manufacture future products.

    How about the 3M thermal transfer copiers, with the Pink and white paper. Also came in an automatic model the 3M 209. I worked on those back in the late "70's". What nightmares. Also a lot of AB Dick 675's, Savin 220.. How about that 3M VQC3?

    Does anyone remember the 3M Magnadry, or Sharp 720, or like me, try to forget them Really makes you appreciate some of the developments that have been made.

    A royal, can't remember the model #. But I worked on plenty of Sharp 726 toaster oven machines back in the "Golden years" lol

    And I remember doing drum hubs all the time on the old Sharp 741 toaster oven copiers.
