It's not at all urgent. 

I forgot to add that it's made by Ilssan Elecom (Korea), who also make
a lot of power supplies for desktop computers.

It is held together with screws that look like star heads, and they're
very deep in a not very wide hole. I'll see if I have an appropriate
driver that will get them out. 

I looked at the $129 replacement at The Printer Works (a normally good
place that I have done business with in the past), but $129 for this
little thing is ridiculous. I can buy a whole replacement stacker for a
couple hundred. And considering that this stacker has done a couple
million sheets, I wouldn't put that much money into it. On the other
hand, these stackers are damn near indestructible. They were built back
when HP still did quality.

Off to check out the election.
