First, this posting is for a friend so please forgive me if this request does not support any form or rational! ;-). The affore mentioned friend has a RS Graphic Printer from the dark ages of computing (ie '84 aprx). The model number is CGP-115. It's thier 'first' ploter/printer, the carrage (I believe) is about 5-6 inch's and it has four pens (multi-colour!). He has managed to split the gears on the carrage (?) and would like to fix it or get a replacement. Therefore the question is, Does anyone know where to get parts/whole to help him out?. Dont ask me why he does'nt get a 'real' replacement for it, maybe sentimental? I would appreciate any responce's. Thanks in advance. ..Mark.. =================== utzoo!tls!mark ===================

I have one of those printers and I broke it a year or two back. (Busted
gear, just like your friend). It cost $20 or 30 to get RS to fix it. They
should still be willing to fix it as it hasn't passed the "magic" 5 year
mark yet.. (they support stuff for *at least* 5 years after they quit
selling it)
