[net.micro] Replacement printhead for NEC PC-8023A

starr@shell.UUCP (Bob Starr) (06/30/84)

The printhead in my NEC PC-8023A printer recently crapped out. Rather
than trash the printer, I would like to just get & install a new head.

Does anyone know a place which has these (off the shelf) and about how
much they cost? An address of such a place would be nice.

Thanks,
Bob Starr

I suggest you contact LEADING EDGE PRODUCTS in Canton, MASS.
They distribute the Pro-writer - a printer functionally identical
to the 8023A (the only different is in a few characters having
serifs on the NEC version). The head should cost close to thirty
dollars. Both printers are made by Tokyo Electronics Corp. (TEC).
Sorry I don't have Leading Edge's number. Also - I heard that they
will soon stop distributing the ProWriter due to C.Itoh's (a CA
company that distributes the printers to Leading Edge) desire to
do some retail selling. Can't confirm it though.
