I've had this copier for a number of years but this summer when the
humidity was high it took several passes through to get a decent copy.
Now the air is dryer but it won't copy at all. I'm wondering if
there is a HV supply that is dead? Is anyone familiar with this
machine?

Check the Corona Wire, it has a habit of getting dirty full of toner, and if
that happens usually it wont transfer the image.

Thanks for your suggestion. I just carefully cleaned the corona wire
on the copier bed. Removed a lot of toner from the shiny metal trough
and made sure there was no toner on the wire. I than ran the cleaner
brush through the cartridge. Still nothing at all appearing on the
paper. I'm still suspecting the HV. Is there an easy way to test
the supply?

have never seen the PS go on one of these before. Did you check the fuse?
Usually if you see alot of Toner in there esp on the Corona, it means it
really needs a good complete internal cleaning. Try Air in a Can to blast
out the loose toner, but do not breathe any of it in.

If still nothing , try posting here, its a very helpful board:

OK I'll try them, the fuses are OK. I took the back panel off and
things are a little dusty but not really bad.
