I can tell by your voice by the end of this video it was a five beer job😂 Thanks for your vids, Ben!

As a retired copier engineer, who used to work on these machines (mainly Ricoh) in the UK, I enjoyed watching you take this model apart. A Copier must be the only piece of equipment that has so many different technologies used in it. The bottle in the back contains silicon oil, to lubricate the fuser rollers by the way. By putting a film of the oil on the hot roller whilst its melting the toner on to the paper, it prevents toner from sticking to the hot roller. The oil is quite expensive, but great for using in your workshop at home, I still have a bottle in mine! The harddrive, is of very small capacity, as it is only used for temporary storage whilst scanning documents ready for printing. I seem to remember that model was only about 20Gb, not much use for other purposes? As you rightly say, these machines were expensive to buy, but have very little value at the end of their life. We used to recondition some lightly used models, but when they were high mileage, everything was too worn to make it worth while. Thanks for the video, enjoyed that.

That one looks tough. I wouldn't want it. I had a new customer ask me if I wanted one last week, I told them I'd get back to them. I remembered that I watched this video late last year. So I rewatched. I'm glad I did now i know what to tell them. Thanks Ben!!!

Love the video mate. Yes, photo copiers suck to scrap. Thank you for your hard work making the videos from a fellow scrapper👍

Three licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop and five beers to scrap a copy machine.

Photocopiers are a treasure trove of motors!

Hi i do the same those big ones the older the better. it tke a hole day per machine. at least come with good boards and lots of wire, 2 big gold pin connectors, electric motors and the power supply board is loaded with good copper and aluminum. plastic and cartiges are the pain. oh! the weels are good for sell or proyects. good video thanks, Ben. good scrapping.

Hi Ben I never miss your video I gained a lot experience regard Singapore 👍

I'm going to pick one of these up, I need the stepper motors as they are kinda spendy...

Looks like a stout beer , yuk . Great vid by the way 👍

This is older video but I lucked into a Toshiba copier/printer/power stapler. I am here to say that particular machines was absolutely loaded with electronics. To this day it has been the best item I have ever got my hands on. That thing was incredibly heavy as well must have weighed at least 350 kilo. Took two people just too roll it around on a hand truck.

Do you have a photo for the main scanner

What brand of beer is that? Can it be bought in the U.S.A.?

It only takes 5 beers to scrap a copier? Sweet! 20 minutes tops!

Thanks for sharing

Yes the older the better. Just found a copier from early 1990’s. Very heavy, all steel body with very few plastic and only one side have everything to work on to pull motor, wiring and board out then throw the copier in back truck. I was shun once by a copier that have a lead-acid battery in it used for power outrage and surge protective. Modern printer take long time to break it apart unless you have cordless power screw driver.

Does anyone pay for the ABS plastic where you are? I see it offered on recycle.net but don't know if anyone would buy it.

what kind of beer?

Good to know info

I’m starting to save circuit boards form stuff and sell them and see if I can make some money!

All the roller rods are on red brass bearings there is about a pound or two on a canon

The older the better is the best. Lots of steel and wire, a couple high grade boards and the rest mid grade and lots of low grade. Could probably sell the stepper motors in it to some hobbyist on eBay. Lots of plastic and steel mostly steel though

Hi sir How much gold in one machine

whatever lens you used is making me seasick

Worth it

Do you think it would be to pay $100 for 24 pc's

Why there is no value to AVS Plastic? I have heard 15 cents a pound or more for plastic !

My scrapyard takes them whole with all the plastic :)

I dont like printers and giess these copiers are also too heavy and big. However I guess it would be more worth if scrap metal prices go up ?

Large hammer and a sizer should get things done.

They are from admissions stations

how long does it take to scrap a photo copier? - 2 and a half hour? - your wrong it takes 5 beer. quite funny cheers ben

5 beers is one too many if you cant remember what an SD card is

Too bad you can’t grind up plastic into granules and sell but that in itself can be expensive unless the government subsidizes you.
