This ones an ink squirter, but I have a much better color laser that despite my being a CET, Brother will not sell me a new corona wire HV generator board for. One of these days I'll diss it and see if I can fix it, likely a bad, high ESR capacitor. Its not like this is my first electronics rodeo, by about 75 years. And I do know what to do with high voltages, one tv transmitter I maintained for 8 years could have crowbarred all of Wayne County Nebraska if a filter capacitor shorted. Over 300KWH was its normal singing voice. Add at least another 0 to that when shorted by a klystron full of water because a $75 circuit breaker failed and single phased a 15 hp water pump. Because of the cost of that klystron, the guv had to call in a quorum of the legislature to write the check for a new one. About $150,000 at the time for everything. That also got circuitry installed to stop that from ever happening again. Expen$ive lesson but that fix was then installed at all the NETV sites that were UHF and subject to that failure mode. 2 others IIRC. > Cheers, good luck > - t Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
