Can't throw more time and resources at it. Fortunately the last thing I put in a year ago, a $5 toner cartridge. It just oozes toner no matter what I do. Got the drum working pretty good - the vinyl blade is what usually fails so I reshaped it ... but it's not much help at all. It's been going downhill for months. Found a charity to donate it for parts. Thanks to all who commented!
