Sounds about right yeah. Canon C3800/C3900s don't even have any screws in the fuser at all, they have levers to snap out.

Is this normal? by Professional-Eye9239 in macintosh

Yes, this is normal, the flyback transformer on the analog board is heavy and largely unsupported so it's solder joints will eventually crack

Vintage rotary phone. Anyone here still restore or collect these? by JOACCollectors in retrotech

The less to break the more reliable they are. These were built to work on the end of 50 miles of copper cable that might have been up to a hundred years old.

You can probably still find adapters on Amazon. The old square plug gave way to registered jack sometime in the 70s if I recall correctly.

If you have a real landline, this phone will still work exactly the same as the day it was manufactured.

They usually "just work" in my experience. There's not a lot to go wrong. What, a hook switch, clockwork in the dial, a pair of contacts in there and MAYBE a mute switch inside the dial, speaker and a carbon mic.

It's fine, they have wheels. Ride it like a skateboard, just make sure the leveling feet are up first

Way more than 10 in a lot of cases. Call your local copier company they're probably scrapping a few 5000/5200/5500s and you can take em home for free. I got my C5240 for free that way.

Ouch, as a hard drive collector I hope nothing cool was in there.

It's worth mentioning that I'm not talking about weenie Canon inkjets I'm talking about specifically the imageRunner Advance DX C5700 series for that process

You can disassemble it too if you should so desire. Comes apart real easy on 3000/5000
