Had a great time showing LaserWriters at @sdfpubnix 's Interim Computer Featival.
The 5000 Avant makes moving this stuff so much easier!!
Man, the SE, ImageWriter, and LaserWriter really were peak industrial design. Ain’t nobody gonna convince me otherwise.
@sdfpubnix later that day I parked next to my 5000s great great great great grandson (C3 vs. C8)
Very cool.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Loving those LaserWriters hacks!
@compu85 @sdfpubnix your talk about laser printer restoration was great too. Well done!
@Btb @sdfpubnix thanks!! it was recorded, I need to edit it and get it posted.
I would love to buy an old daisy wheel or print ball impact printer that works using simple LPT over a parallel cable. I’ve not found a reliable source and I’m in Iceland so it’s expensive to play roulette on eBay.
@seshat look for anything that’s a C.itoh 8510, like the Apple ImageWriter, or Dot Marrix printer. They’re tough as nails, easy to get ribbons for. But they are kind of heavy.
