Laserjet 5 tray broke

[Meese]

I have a Laserjet 5, it works fine, but I bumped the tray a little too
hard and the hinge broke. The manual describes it as "tray 1 and
extension". Does anyone know where I can find one of these?
The "rear access cover" is loose also and would like to get one of
them too while I am fixing the broken tray. I don't want to give the
printer up just because the flimsy tray is broken.

Thanks

I've never bought anything from these people but I go to their page a lot.

They have great answers on just about anything if you look hard enough and
they seem reputable to me.
The above link is to the parts page but check out their home page too.

Thanks for the response.
I was checking that page out, #5 and 1 from that page looks like what
I am needing. It's kinda hard to tell from their drawings though. What
do you think. Here's a scan from the manual with the needed part
highlighted

Thanks again

Well . . .
Don't know if I'm going to be much help here but . . .
You said it was the hinge and the tray.

From what I can make out on their page it appears that part #100A-4A is the
hinge and yes it looks like 100A-1 Tray, MP, Extender LJ 5

and
100A-5 Door, MP LJ 5

are what you are looking for.

Hope the above formatting goes through.
Not having owned a LJ 5 myself I'm a bit stumped.
I guess I'd suggest the obvious which is to snap a digital photo of the
damage and email the place.
I'm sure they can help you better than I.

Meese,

I have a couple of LaserJet 5's that I use as parts machines.. Shoot me an
email with a picture or little better description of what you need and maybe
I can save you a few bucks on a used part..
