I'm really loving these stories, I wish I had time to respond to everyone who's posted. Please keep em coming.

What's the weirdest place you ever went to fix a copier?

I had a Konica on State...

I worked on a Minolta EP450Z and some tech before me replaced the thermal fuse in the fuser assy, with a nail.

I was in the shop one day, and a new tech was replacing the thermocouple on a...

Your response is my favorite. :o

Robin in Bremerton

I have a great customer, they use mostly M606 and M608 HP printers. The boss has an old P2430 that he likes, so I agreed to PM it for him. I forgot to clamp the feed tire shaft, and knocked the...

Ether? Oh my!

One thing I miss about being self employed, is hanging out and sharing stories with other techs.

The other machine that I set on fire, was a Konica national account machine at Mailboxes etc. ...

I love telling customers funny stories. When I meet a new customer, and start working on their machine, I like to inform them that I have 40+ years of experience working on office machines. Then I...

Blackcat4866, I wanted to follow up and let you know, I pulled the solenoid back out, took it apart and whacked the flapper to discharge any magnetism, then I applied a bit of thick duct tape, to...

I have a family member who has a good paying federal job, with excellent benefits. Most of the people who work there are over privileged, fat and lazy white men. They were just told they will need...

I've cleaned a ton of these solenoids on earlier models, and I can usually get them to stick outside the machine. This one wouldn't stick, I wasn't convinced the solenoid is causing the problem. ...

I read a tip that this 59.F0 code on a CP 4025, was caused by a sticky solenoid in the fuser drive assy. I tore this baby down, and sure enough that foam was coming apart. Cleaned it all up, and I...

There's a reason we're still in the copier business. Quite obviously not because the guys here have much in the way of brain power.

You're not paying attention. ;-)

Trump and the...

You can't have an intelligent debate with some people, sorry, I may be awnry, but I'm not stupid.

All I got for the stupid people, is disdain. meh

900 people died in Florida the other day.

We have two pandemics in our nation, Covid and stupidity.

I can guess what most of the guys in here suffer from....

Do the Taliban choke their citizens to death, on the street, in front of children?

It's glaringly obvious that a vast majority of Afghani people prefer the Taliban to the American invaders.

My...

I think I may have met you at the grocery store parking lot. :-D

It sounds like you've got it figured out.

I've met some different kinds of sales people over the years. We had a guy who was...

I'm sure Hopkins would be considered "old school" today, but many of his techniques are bold and effective. He also talks a lot about positive thinking. As a teenager, in the 70's, I attended a...

i used to work on Olivetti typewriters.

A good friend lost his wife to covid and a coworker of my wife's spent a month in the ICU. Wear your mask and get the vaccine, do your preventive maintenance. ;-)

I went through the Tom Hopkins sales training video course back in the mid 80's. I still have the videos on VHS tape. I understand outside sales, but there's a reason I'm a technician. ;-)

Back...

Thanks for all the great comments. I will always value the opinions of technicians over anyone else. ;-)

Allow me to assure you. I am not STUPID. I would never attempt to engage in an honest, intelligent conversation with a delusional Trumpster.

600,000 American's died of Covid due to Trump's inept handling of this pandemic, but 700,000 people died of AIDs and Uncle Ronnie wouldn't even say the word AIDs. Reagan made a deal with the Iranian...

Thanks,

I get nothing when I attempt to turn it on.

Independent for sure.

It's just me. ;-)

I'll look into the Copystar line.
