Ugh.. I'm sorry Tom. I don't know what I was looking at when I wrote that.
I meant/was wondering that perhaps Al KOSSOW/bitsavers might have the
technical manual or support manual for that specific printer. I do
apologize for that incorrect naming goose chase I probably sent you on.
For the others the high pitched noise is from the speaker not a capacitor
or anything from what we discussed at the VCF.

Hi
I was referred to this group by Vintage Computer Forums at
vintage-computer.com.
I was told a Al Hartman at this list might have the info I need.
I have an Epson FX-185 impact printer. It was in storage for several
years. It now makes a constant high pitched noise from the speaker as soon
as it is turned on. The noise is definitely coming from the speaker. It is
supposed to do so when out of paper. The out of paper sensor is functioning
correctly I even disconnected that sensor from the board and still get the
sound whether or not the circuit is completed. No bulging capacitors. Parts
of the board are grungy. Wondering how to go about cleaning the circuit
boards.
