Hello all! I haven't had any luck selling our S80 so I've been using it more and more and discovered something goofy with the automatic take up. It appears to be missing a piece internally, would anybody be willing to take pictures of the highlighted area to help me diagnose this thing?
I did some investigating and found I could trigger the 2 "optical eyes" and make it work on automatic but otherwise it only works on manual mode. I went through the service/user manuals and couldn't find any indication of what is missing inside there. Epson tech wants $2k for a new take up but nothing is wrong with the whole take up. I may end up making a bracket to trigger the eyes but I'm having a hard time imagining what I need to make exactly. Thank you in advance
