Greg:
Did the unit misfeed on the last
10 ballots in the cassette, or did it misfeed every 10 ballots no
matter the height of the stack in the cassette?
On the cassette, is there a small
square pad of gray material in the center of the spring loaded tray or is it
missing?
Did you try the torque test that
I had instructed you about earlier (the infeed rollers should turn without
hesitation on the empty cassette tray surface)? What were the results
of that test?

Had an AccuFeed that misfeeds within 10 ballots.
Changed the centre tire on the feed arm. Still misfeeds. Tried
an old photocopier trick (my background) and ran 720 ballots
perfectly.
Solution:
Took a fresh sheet of Bounce and wiped down the aluminum
guide plate and both plastic guides. Ballots whistle through like
... through a goose. The copier technicians
would experience a static charge in the feed cassette and neutralize it
with Bounce or similar product as well as providing a slight
lubricant.
Better get McKinney's blessing first
though.
