Subject: Stefan - I got an old laser printer to hack the fuser from!

From: "lcdpublishing" <lcdpublishing@...>

Hi Stefan,

My buddy gave me an old (about 3 years) laser printer. He believe the
fuser is good so I might have a fuser to hack! I will start pulling
the printer apart tonight if I don't get called out of town again. I
recall you mentioning certain critical parts I need to keep from the
rest of the printer so I won't butcher it up too bad. Can you refresh
my memory as to what else I need from the printer?

Also, what sort of motor did you use to drive your fuser? I remember
you saying it takes about 1 minute to pass a board through, so I am
guessing you are using some sort of gear motor.

Thanks!

Chris
