I was going through some old stuff in a storage space and came accross my old 1090 books from the 80's . They were the old style that used the smaller paper.

I got them back in the NAVY when they sent me to Xerox so that I could fix even more stuff on the ship. Like I really needed that .

Anyway, I opened the case and had a flashback to the days in the NAVY and in DC Baltimore area.

I hated it when they went to the full size paper and those really slick covers.





   

  Joined Xerox in 1972 and went on training to "Des Plaines" for 2400/3600 training .Back then it was 5 weeks !!

I still got my 1090 FSM Manuals and Training manuals. Got the parts fische and magnifier too. Even some spares.

Untill last year I even had my 1075 manuals.

Man, I thought I was ol' School !!!!

I tossed the training manuals and service docs for the 1075, and they were still shrink wrapped. I think I kept the binders though.
They told us at the Xerox school " you may need these, but hopefully you won't "

Those binders were the BEST !!! not like the later 11x8.5 slippery slide off your cart things.

Now it's either in your head, or on a laptop. I prefer it to be in my head.

Here is another, the blue plastic keys for the setting up the 9900 sticher head. Rust earser still have that, the flicker bar tool to use as a scraper on the BTR housing. Which I sometime use as a back scratcher. Still have the standard metal tool case and tools inside. Tool for setting up the bottom mag roll gap to the trim bar on the 9000 series. Hey you never know if the ocean throws up a boat anchor up. Just for kick I will take a digital pic of all these old memory tool and post it up. Just remember this was the time Dave Kern was ceo. Good times.

those are the ones that i mentioned before that were like a readers digest.............when i took a call on a standard i  said i don't have a manual and my fsm said don't worry the key-op will tell you how to fix it

i always gained weight at Leesburg too , KT . and usually did enough drinking to last me awhile after i got back home . 

The 660 also had the monofiliment line at the exit when the gripper bar would push a balled up wad  of  flaming paper into the catch tray. That was fun. Speaking of fires, worked on the 600 MEP 18 X 24 inch paper two gripper bars and a toaster type fuser. Holy Smoke  Bat Man. Did I mention that the developer housing in this weighed about 90lbs. Cascade development with steel shot developer. Also the filter bag was too big for the opening and if you waited to long to do a pm and change it you had to chisel the bag out of the filter box. Anybody still have the .20 shim for setting the distance in the register rolls on the 914, 720. It was a great scraping tool. How about the blocks to set up paper feed in the 660. Nightmare. Go No Go tool. How many of you worked on the 6500?  Can you say bad paper path switches? Then there were the super reliable 190P182 relays. I am going to quit now before I make a bigger fool of myself.
