FWIW..... I needed to refurbish the printer rollers on a Dell P1500 this weekend. I read everything I could find about what products to use or not use. I have a chemistry background so that helped. At any rate, I settled on the following simple cocktail for restoring the rollers.... It worked fantastic:
 
1 teaspoon DOT brake fluid
1 teaspoon naphtha (old fashioned lighter fluid)
1cc acetone
 
First I scrubbed the rollers lightly with soapy water and a lint-free towel.
I mixed the above in a Dixie cup. Then I rubbed this cocktail on each roller with a Q-tip, and wiped it off with the lint-free towel within 30 seconds. Then I repeated the application, wiped clean again. I was amazed. The printer works again, it was throwing the "jam" sensor every time, because the paper wasn't advancing.

Thanks for your help everyone, however, the IC's MN 3101 and MN 3007 are stock parts that came out of my completely stock virgin 1988 Solid State Fender Princeton Chorus amp. Not sure why you're not seeing them ?

Thanks Dan,
 
My 1988 Fender Princeton Chorus Model PR82 Made In USA is completely stock, a totally virgin amp. The IC's MN 3101 and MN 3007 are stock parts that came out of this amp. I replaced them with new ones yesterday, but no change, the Chorus is still having problems. The pilot light comes on, and both the Rate & Depth controls seem to be working, but the FX is very very weak.
 
BTW...this is not a Princeton that uses DSP...the amps that featured DSp effects came after the PR82 models and don't sound near as good.
 
Stay Safe, Charles

In the Dremel's I've taken apart there are few components because it's triac speed control (light dimmer).
 
probably close to this: https://www.electroschematics.com/motor-speed-regulator-with-triac/
 
A jumper between the two terminals other than the one going to T2 is all you have to do.
 
if there is a number on the part. You jump MT1 to MT2.
 
e.g. https://www.nteinc.com/specs/5600to5699/pdf/nte5621_27.pdf
 
All pin outs may not tbe the same.
