We have an old Dart Diazo blueprint / large scale copying machine...its a good 15-18 years old so it might have just died, but its not working properly

The machine works in two steps:

1. The original plan/drawing is fed through with the blueprint paper which is solid yellow originally...the blue light exposes the original drawings' text, images, etc onto the yellow paper leaving white paper with yellow anywhere there is text, images, etc

2. The paper is then fed into the second part of the machine where ammonia, via a bottle and some hoses, exposes the yellow and white chemicals on the paper to make the classic blueprint look

So anyway the first step works fine but when I feed the paper through step two, it comes out looking the same...I tried adding a new bottle of ammonia but that didnt help at all...any suggestions? I know this isnt as common as your average PC but this thing doesnt work!
