The Repair Kit Concept
I like this idea. The repair kit.
I accidentally broke the tray lever on my Xerox XE80 copier. It was a trivial part but very hard to reach for self-repair. After considering a service manual, which is very hard to get, and pestering the Xerox Support Team (XST) and sales department, I was about at the end of my quest. Disassembling it to get to the potentially broken piece was daunting. In my *last* call to the XST, the technician casually and almost in a whisper mentioned REPAIR KIT in a sentence, which I almost ignored. "Repair kit?", I said. I had heard no one mention this before. The short of it is that they sell repair kits for easy to perform repairs that a mechanically adept person could install at home. So for $15.00 the instructions for how to fix the lever and a few simple parts are winging their way here. It beats the alternative, which was to ship it to Dallas and pay $215. I hope other manufacturers have something like this. I'll ask the next time the opportunity confronts me. Wayne T. Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada City, CA) (121.015 Deg. W, 39.262 Deg.
