as an aside... i just saw a place that gets $85 for that spring.
(I'm assuming that is gold plated, or maybe dipped in platinum, typical
pricing for lexmark parts)

Subject: [Laser Printer Repair] Need part number or actual salvage part -
Lexmark Optra T614
Printer type Optra T614 4069-414. 500 sheet tray internal. I needed the
redrive cover for the top and paper out flag and bellcrank for the paper
autocompensator/feed and found those on Partsmart. Problem is the thin but
long spring that attaches to the T arm that the pickup rollers goes to and
the body of the paper feed unit is stretched and while they show it in the
Lexmark illustration of the paper feed unit it isn't a separate part.
Anyone
have a clue what the part number is for that spring or have one from a
core
feed unit they could sell me for a buck or two? It's about 1/8" inch in
diameter and pulls the roller arm up when idle. Someone pulled down on te
roller T arm too far and stretched it out. This should be able to go in a
first class mail envelope without problems and still take a regular stamp.
If someone knows the individual part number I can locate one possibly as
well. No sense in buying a whole paper feed/autocompensator assy for one
bad
spring.
