I really hate having to give up this wonder piece of Apple history, but it's taking up so much room, and I can't put it to use. Between my Mac stuff, commodores, and Ataris, I just don't have room anymore.

This is the first image writer branded printer out there. It was originally bought for a Mac Plus in 1984.
I believe the unit is mechanically sound, the only issue being that it needs a new ribbon. (Surprisingly available for really cheap: http://www.inkfair.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2)

I can provide cables to connect to a vintage mac if needed, as well as a few sheets of tractor feed paper. (It does have friction feed if you run out.) I am a big fan of dot matrix printers, and would love to see this go to either another dot-matrix fan or an vintage apple collector.

Please help me spare this piece of history from the trash!


Also available: Custom 1 of a kind BLACK HP LaserJet 4L laser printer. Works ok for small amounts of printing, sometimes the paper tray jams, but you just open it up, re-seat the paper and its good to go.
