Re: Canon U.S.A. Congratulates Advanced Systems, Inc. on 60 Years of Business
This is the company that started it all for me 35 years ago when Mel Kubicek, Pres. of Advanced Systems suggested selling copiers was better than selling Life Insurance. My roll was selling 3M copiers which were relabeled Toshibas.

Re: The Industry Lost a good one
Advanced Systems is why I am in this business and have been for 38 years. It was Mel Kubicek then who talked me in to coming to work for them selling 3M copiers. Dave's Bio says that he joined Advanced Systems 30 years ago so I had moved on to Kansas City by the time he came on board.

@Old Glory Advanced and Dave have been instrumental in our success with Canon. When we first became a dealer we were overwhelmed with the programs, rebates, trade in credits and what to use with each other and what not or what couldn't be used together. We were used to, what we felt, was Ricoh's simple rebate process.

Re: Please help with Vintage Copier article!
3M: Earliest copiers were the ThermoFax brand - ran copies past an Infrared lamp to transfer image to coated paper. I believe from the early 60's. In mid to late 60's introduced the Model 107 & 209 2 step copiers - exposed a pink film to light and ran through a heater to transfer image to coated bond paper. Next technology was M191 & 215 series in mid 70s - electrostatic process using a crush roller & heat to fuse the toner to coated paper - created a shiny surfaced copy - paper...

You left out Saxon. I sold them but don't remember much about them...how they started or where they went. The company I worked for had the liquid tonere Savins and the Saxon was a dry toner alternative. To add to an earlier post regarding the 3M 209 with the pink paper. The process was called dual-spectrum. After that 3M had the VQC line of electro static copiers ending with the VQC III. They really helped me be successful when I started in this business 30 years ago because it was so easy...

Re: Please help with Vintage Copier article!
What I remember about my early days...I sold the 3M 545, plain paper, single tray, no reduction or enlargement. I competed with the Canon NP 120 which touted instant on because of it's cold pressure fusing but it left a shine to the copy. I believe it had a stationary platen which I sold against by suggesting that all those lenses and mirrors jumping back and forth would be a source of problems. The other tough Canon box was the NP 210 at a blazing 21 copies per minute and amazingly small...

Re: Ricoh vs. Toyota
With recent management changes and the directive to eliminate the IKON name in an accelerated fashion, the IKON I-KARS project has been abandoned. Additionally, the current Teknoforce vehicles (Toyota Matrix) will be kept and will not be upgraded to Toyota Venza vehicles. This action is said to be saving Ricoh another $3M to $4M over the next two years.

I thought estat was short for "electrostatic" You will get hits when you google that but I don't think it is what you were after. I remember replacing "Dual Spectrum" machines which is what we called the 3M 209. they required two rolls of paper, one was pink and the other treated similar to the treated paper machines that followed such as the 3M VQC

Re: The Office Copier turns 50!
The first Copier that I was trained to repair (in Manhattan) was the 3M Alpha Secretary II. It came with a pair of wooden tongs, and you had to have an empty metal waste basket next to it so when the paper caught fire if it jamed under the toaster unit, you used the wooden tongs to transfer it to the solid metal waste basket where it could burn out "safely". Definitely a pre OSHA device, and these were sold into offices all over NYC.
