Found the part on ebay shortly after I posted this on May 19 - no further need for the part.

We put a new belt on, it worked a few days then the drop detect error came up (and yes it has been cleaned). Also I just picked up a Designjet 350C (C4700A E carriage) for myself that had been in storage for a while - has the optional roll feeder and the bar that is supposed to have a sliding cutter in it. The cutter and knob that slides side to side is missing - only the bar attached to the right and left covers with the 3 paper holdoffs is there. It needs a belt badly but I have that already and ordering an encoder strip as mice chewed the plastic top when it was in storage (unbelievably they didn't damage anything else!) Everything else is in good and working order so far - just need the cutter if possible. Since this is my first post in this group I ought to note that I have been working HP equipment including plotters over 20 yrs - an ASP/AWDP with APS Designjet and Laserjet certification since 2000 - computer and electronic equipment since I went active duty Air Force in 76. I retired in 95 went part time self employment and in 2000 went full time. I'm in almost the middle of Kentucky about 25 miles west of Elizabethtown, 30 SW of Ft. Knox, 25 north of Mammoth Cave NP. About the only plotters I haven't worked on yet are the 8000 thru 10000 models (I'm not paying for resident training for something I can test on later). I work on about any printer, plotter, copier or fax there is even way back to dot matrix and daisy wheel. I also have people ship their equipment for repair and return but not plotters and some of the larger lasers due to the size and ease of UPS doing the OOPS that they have been come to be associated with. I know how they work after 15 months full time as a Toshiba laptop tech for them in Louisville with the WorldPort hub there. I have had people bring machines to me or have me come to them from local all the way to Dayton OH. I've also gotten HP parts for people at reduction (sometimes) from list and had them drop shipped to the customer. Drop me an email if I can help anyone.
