Maybe if it is a small one. Where do you source from?

My Hp5si is up for its 600k pages makeover. Decided that it was
better to shell out on a new one (Kyocera make a nice little A4
duplexer). 

OTOH, I'm finding it very hard to throw out the old Gestener Scout (Cannon
Sx engine) as they were as common as chips.

I put mine on a chipboard boxen on wheels. Only problem is that that boxen
is my SF collection {:-)
