Thats correct, I first served my country and upon discharge from the us Army I got my start. It enabled me to raise four well educated children and serve my community as a volunteer through the chamber of commerce, toastmasters, city council, and workforce investment board, ( training individuals to assist them in there struggle to be free of welfare ). When all is said and done, Its not what I did for me, but for my family and community. Those are my humble standards as a copier technician. | |||

I started on a Savin Liquid 770 and the 211,313,313zd and the 111 Series, Do not think I could ever work on another liquid again. | |||

Is anyone interested in buying a Mita Copystar 900D copier? I have one that I received on account. On accounta I didn't get paid. It has been sitting in my back office for about 10 years and I could use the space. Thanks; Allen Jones Salmon Arm, BC | |||

Throw an MC-10 and MC-20 on that list, and you've got the machines I cut my teeth on (along with Canon's segment one NP series of that same period! | |||

I've got one of those DC111 brochures lying about, and a lot of others. In April 1989, when I got my first dunking in fuser oil then toner, We had the privilege of copying our own personal copies of the office manuals. I think it was part of the initiation that I was given a DC-133vox to make my copies. It's irritating little voice had been silenced by disconnecting the speaker. Try copying a few 300pg duplex manuals on the DC133! I have seen a few MC20s and DC-161/162. I got to work on a lot of the 700D/800D/900D series. They just would never die. I don't remember the copy quality issue, but remember changing a lot of registration rollers for cracks. When I was quite a bit younger I've lifted a 900D by myself. I don't plan on trying that again soon. What memories! =^..^= =^..^= | |||

My early days included the 3M VQC III that I am certain was made by Mita. It was almost identical to the 900D. Didn't realize this until I saw my first 900D many years later. I also got my start with the Savin liquid machines, the 750. I even saw a couple of the Savin liquid estat machines where the paper was actually run into a tank of liquid then squeezed out. Almost useless right out of the box. | |||

I am old, Sorry kids the first Mita I worked on was a liquid version of the 700D, Really. They also had a liquid version of the 17Dry I believe it was the A2. The 900D followed the 700D thank God, the 700D had to have all the relays changed every year or so. Some not so well known brands I worked on: Apeco Roll O'Matic(we nick named it the Jam O'Matic), Scott 3D, Saxon, Eskofot, AB Dick | |||

I still have the service and parts manuals for the 17D (as well as the rest of the "D" series) out in the Garage; I may digitize them one day just for laughs! Those things were translated so funky!  | |||

Wow, copycat. What a memory! I saw a few MC10 and MC15s, and I have heard of the 18 Dry, but when I started we still had a ****load of 500D/700D/900D, 131/132/133R vox, 121/122, DC161/162. For me the 900D was the best machine for many years. How can you beat cold fusing? (Except when you get a jam...) =^..^=

It could have been a 900D. There were scads of them, and they were mostly bulletproof. The only thing that failed was the registration rollers cracking after a couple decades. I had quite a collection of them for a while. =^..^= =^..^= | |||

When you went out on a 900D call you took pocketfuls of the plastic wiper blades for the crush rollers. Once the blades got a knick or jammed you better be replacing the thing. New guys haven't experienced radial distance gauges for the mag roller to drum and adjusting brush heights and adjusting the charges using current shoes. Heaven help you if you hit the interlock with the current shoe in the 161 series. An the ever present 213 with super glueing the backspill guides behind the mag roller and changing the scanner pulleys and even more fun if someone didn't take off the clutch pack hold down for that marvelous mechanical reduction and enlargement drive pack. And oh yea, who hasn't been cleaning the halogen lamp and at least once hit the frame and lights out. Someone mentioned the 513. Replacement assemblies came in boxes bigger than entire machines now and it still didn't work. Cleaning blade assy locked the entire machine and see ya. Good old sprocket and chain drive machines. What am I thinking????? | |||
