The original - with all the bells and whistles, including AppleTalk, serial
cable/null modem and other connection, and Postscript printer language.

This baby cost over 2 grand when it was new, and it's darn near that (new)
now, as it has just over 24k prints made.  However....

The pickup rollers have given up the ghost.  It's not a very challenging
repair, and the manual feed still works just fine.  If you wanted to replace
the rollers, they're about 8 bux each, and there are three of them.  Years
of exposure turned them to gum.  You'd likely get another 15 years out of
the new ones as I did out of the originals.

This fine machine will work with Apple and MSDos and Windows machines (it's
currently connected to my DOS/W3.1 machine), and I'd bet there's drivers for
it in Linux - but I've never tried it.  I'll throw in a custom made 10'
cable (serial/null modem, which Apple calls 'printer cables'), two books on
Postscript editing and the remainder of the cartridge and the various other
NIB supplies related to cartridges.  It's got the original manual, paper
tray and catcher tray.

Best yet, it's free to a good home.  However, at that price, you'll have to
come get it.  I'm in Cumming and usually available during the day and
weekends, both.  However, as the holiday concert season approaches, I'm also
mostly available in the evenings as well, with a couple of exceptions.  I'm
sure we can work it out.

Drop me a line if you want this magnificent youngster.  First come, first
served, as with the other printers in the past, of course.
