In my previous posting I complained about my Imagewriter dropping one row of type. I got a couple of replies via Email concerning other peoples experience (Thanks!). After cogitating on the problem for a while, I decided if some Japanese folks could build the goddamn thing (the print-head), I could fix it (MSE in mechanical eng.). I took it apart and exchanged two of the hammers. Viola!! For about 1 hour work, I have a perfectly functioning Imagewriter. If anyone is interested in the procedure, drop me a line. I think the procedure could be adopted to any dot-matrix printer. One of the replies to my original inquiry indicated a new head was $140, so some real savings are possible. -- Chip LeMar 201-957-2616 houxm!mtuxo!rll (I guess) (Cute quote goes here.
