*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR IMAGEWRITER ***

I received several inquiries concerning my repair of the Apple
Imagewriter printer. Since it looks like several people want help,
and I'm not sure my mail gets to you folks, I will reiterate what
my mail to them said. At the risk of being innundated with
requests, the best way to describe the procedure is over the phone,
in real time. So, to get my help, have your bad print head in hand,
along with a fine pair of needlenose pliers, and a fairly small
standard screwdriver, and a very small Phillips screwdriver (to fit
the small screws on the outside of the print head). (I'm assuming
everyone knows how to remove the print head. Remove the ribbon, and 
swing the two small chrome levers back. Smoothly pull the print head
staight upwards)
  After all this, give me a call at 201-957-2616. I will lead you thru
step-by-step. It's just too hard (I think) to describe the steps in 
language like '... then remove the little clear thingamagig by turning
the round watchamacallit...' over the net. Much better in real time, with
feedback from the help-ee. Takes about 10 minutes, and a steady hand.
(Have a drink before you call   ;-)   ;-)   ;-)
