[Premium-Rx] WJ-8718/MFP Questions

[Gore, Greg]

Hi All,

I just bought a WJ-8718/MFP from Scott at American Milspec in South Carolina and I must comment his customer service is extraordinary. I currently have it disassembled for cleaning and have a couple of questions. It looks like the main power push button switch plastic extension might have been repaired at one time as I bumped it while the front panel was removed and it broke at what appears to be a glue joint. Is it supposed to have a spring? There are a couple of horseshoe clips on it and a small brass pin which fell out from it somewhere. Anybody know a source for a replacement or should I try to fix this one?

Also, a seller on eBay has a cabinet for the 8718 which he said came from the Chinese Army. He explained they used a lot of 8718's when he was in the Army. My guess is the cabinet is probably not WJ or is it? Anybody recognize the maker?

Thanks in advance!
