Ok, you've decided that you want a new printer and you're not
supplying enough information to even diagnose the alleged fuser
problem. If you can't describe what's wrong with the fuser, could you
at least describe what inspired you to purchase a new printer?

**Every reference points towards me buying a new fuser. The cheapest
option will be more than AUS$300.00. And that may not fix the fault. I'd
prefer not to spend a huge chunk of cash on an ancient, but quite
decent, printer. That said, I have just located a service manual for the
3000, 3600 & 3800 (but not the 'N' variant). It is a very large file and
will take some time to complete, but, hopefully, will shed some light on
what is inside the fuser and how to pull the damned thing apart.

Somehow, I seem to have missed the part where you describe what
inspired you to purchase a new printer and what failure mode you're
experiencing with the fuser. Perhaps it can be repaired. I think
you'll find the rebuild kit I previously mentioned a better and
cheaper alternative at $80:
