: Are you kidding?  A google search for decwriter II la36 turns up page 
: loads of images, including Jason's eBay auction.

The la36 was the slightly cooler, big model... I have a la34... the la120 
was actually a decent printer, but the la34 and la36 were 300/1200 baud 
printer terminals....  my la34 could print at up to 45cps and i think the
la36 was similar....  Luckily, I lent my la34 to a in-law and haven't seen
it since... hopefully he threw it out/sold it/gave it away... I imagine the
ink cartrages might be hard to come by now...

Get yourself a la36 and you'll be "in".
