    Will a MPC2503 fit inside a MPC3503?

    OK.
    I know the mpc2503 is a cheap rate knockdown of the mpc3503.
    And having little experience with these I am curious if I can use any parts in a pinch.
    I was thinking of gutting a few cheap ones to use to rebuild drum and developer units with mpc3503
    drum,drum blades,lub bar etc etc...Anyone try this?

    You can swap the parts into the drum housing and it will work. Unsure of the dev unit though

    The 2503 & 3503 are PCU & DEV are completely different not a single part is the same (apart from the screws!)

    Truth. The pcu and dev on the 2503 is rated for WAY less and designed so. I order the charge roller assy for the 35 and up by itself. Makes the drum go longer unless the lube bar is used up.

    I know they are NOT EQUAL..
    but can you take a drum unit,a ITB UNIT OR FUSER UNIT and pop it in a mpc3003?
    I know the toner is the same although less.......
    I can find cheap mpc2503 and the gut them for parts so i rebuild the drum units with higher life parts etc etc.........

    i understand your reply i am trying to make mpc2503 EQUAL to mpc3003................
    What i need to know like if i was on SURVIVOR what can i use on what i have.........
    If the core is the same and i use high life drums,lub bars etc etc IS it worth it?

    There is no lube bar in the 20/25 series!

    The drum cylinder is totally different the coating wears much faster than the 3/4/5/5 series.
