I have a RISO model GR1700. I took the drum out of its cradle. Before I placed the drum back into the cradle that holds it, the cradle got shoved back into the machine. It is now locked in postion and I can't release it so I can pull it back out to put the drum back in

Does the end of the drum have a gear on it. Some use a shaft with a flat side into a plastic bushing. I think you may just have some gears catching unless something is broken off. Just shut the door and turn on the power switch for just a second. The gears should at least cherp. They may move just enough for you to pull it out. Try it a few times and see if that helps you. Otherwise hook a chain to the back of your pick-up and pull hard.
Locate the microswitch that tells the machine that the drum is present. Drop the transfer section to get a better look. You can cheat it and also you can cheat the door interlock so you dont have to keep shutting the door.
Hi,
It simply needed to be inserted and twisted into place
