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. David P. Geller Computer Consoles, Inc. {seismo}!rlgvax!geller Office Systems Group 11490 Commerce Park Drive Reston, VA 22091
