82143A printer roller replacement
Message #1 Posted by James Grenert on 4 Dec 2010, 12:57 p.m.

Hello. Has anyone replaced the paper advance rollers in the 82143A printer? Mine have flat spots and are generally not as sticky as they should be. Thanks! -J. P.

Hello, I have exchanged the original rollers with a couple of o-ring and made other modify to the plastic supports. You can see the final product of this kind of work in the following pictures:

Of course, you must take apart the printer head assembly but it's a worth time job.

I can send you a complete paper feed cam with my modify if you send me your damaged part. Let me know if you are interested.

Regards

Ignazio

Wow, nice work! I don't have a 82143A service manual in the DVD set. Is it easy to open up and disassemble? I have pretty good mechanical skills (repaired a gummy wheel on my card reader).

Thanks for your help and kind offer!

Hi James, I have the service manual but it's not usefull for this kind of job; it show only a exploded view of the printer assembly. If you need this image, tomorrow morning I can send you the file. Let me know a mail address.
