The printer head was sticking in its transit so I decided to open it up for a cleaning.
This simple little task took me nearly 8 hours. I got very good at soldering since I must have broken 25 year old connections inside on several occassions as I manipulated the innards to get at things.
Plus, I had no clue how to properly reassemble it so the printer head could move freely. So it came apart a few more times. And there was more soldering as I broke off more wires. Etc.
But I got to clean what shouldn't be greasy are regrease what should be. And I did sort out how to tuck things out of the way so the print head slides swiftly back and for.
At the end of the day, it works better than before.
But I won't be doing that again soon, sheesh.
Good thing I am not a surgeon....
