I have two Radio Shack Line Printer VI's for sale.

These have wide carriages with friction and tractor paper feeds
and printer the standard ASCII character set plus a selection of
mapped graphics characters (not bit-addressable - just blocks and
assorted shapes). These are _8_ pin printers that print the 
lower case characters without decenders, ie: a lower case "g" is
the proper shape but the lower tail of the "g" is even with the
bottom of the surrounding letters.  Still readable, but text only.

These printers _do_ have a lot of miles on them, but they would
be fine for uppercase-only applications, perhaps as a security 
system's entry log, remote metering or logging all those console 
error messages!

I would like to sell these printers _together_ (let's face it, they're
about 10 years old and decidely behind the state of the art) so they're
priced (did I mention I spent > $2200 on them!) to move at $100 plus
shipping, or will hand deliver to you in the greater Chicago area. Your
$100 _also_ gets most of a case of wide paper (since these are the only
printers I have left that handle it) _and_ about a dozen ribbon cartridges.
Some of those ribbons will need to be reinked, so I'll include a little
squeeze bottle of that messy stuff too!

For further details please contact me at the address below:
