IR 5000 lower legal tray will not show legal or ltr r. Tray lifts and can realign guides to have it show A4 and ltr r will run anyway with that setting. Swapped cassette insert but same thing. I am thinking it may be sensor bank on rear frame or drawer position..to far in or out. Swapped right side p/u assemblies with same problem. Thanks for any help on this.

There is a sensor assembly on the rear wall. It's spring loaded and can break. Check that.

It's pretty easy to fix. A tab that a spring mount on breaks and a little "Creative Engineering" will fix it up just fine.

yeah, the same variable resistor from the NP days.

Just cut the loop out of a paper clip and heat it up with a ligher and shove it through and make a new hook for the spring to attach to.

easy peasy. I typically get 60 or $70 for the paper clip plus labor and tack a few dollars on for ligher fuel. Costs of fuel have increased so you may wish to adjust your pricing to match current trends in the market.
