I have seen old Mita MC-10 and MC-20. They predate the DC models (monocomponent) and I believe also predate the 500D/900D. They were on our junk shelves when I started my job in 1987. I know Mita made diazlo process machines following WWII, not sure when they started making xerographic process machines. Late 1960's, early 1970's I think.

I guess I've got a toner clog in the brain!
18 Dry? That was the precursor to the DC-1824. It was physically larger than a DC-6090, and used electrostatic 18 inch wide roll paper. Laid out like a giant 900D. Yes, I did service one a few times in my early days.

Now I wish I could find one of those old DC-111C sales brochures that had the test target printed on the back page. It had a timeline of Mita Copystar with model highlights printed on it. We threw away bundles of old sales stuff like that last year. I did hang on to an old Sharp test page (dated 1975) with an arial photograph of lower Manhattan, WTC towers very prominent in the foreground. It was just too interesting to let go.

The first copier from Mita was the 700D, but my first was the 900D in 1976 and the 500D. The 900D was a really big hit nationwide using roll coated paper. The 500D used sheet paper. The next in approx. order MC20 special "plain paper" sheet, MC10 special "plain paper" roll, DC15 first true bond copier, DC161, DC162, DC131,DC262,DC122,DC312,DC142,DC412,DC191,DC1824,DC111,etc, etc, etc. Copiers today are a major improvement over the early models.

Damn! I worked on at least one of every model mentioned at one time or another and I even have a 500D out in the garage as a door stop!
Actually, I've still got a copy of the DC-111/c brochure mentioned and I also have (somewhere) a copy of Mita's "Marks on Paper" which outlines Copystar/Mita's historic time line and, if I remember right, it's earliest incarnation goes back to 1936 or there-abouts; I'll see if I can locate it!

Try 1962, photorapid copiers using gaevert paper, positive and negative applications, clean the tray of oxidized solutions for the customer who needed to habg the copies up to dry or they wpould bond to where ever you laid them. I was there for the first 500 D, and the great 900D, youngster!
