cctech Digest, Vol 47, Issue 34

I'm not sure if this is sad or funny. I was in contact with the original owner and was possibly going to take it, but I gave up my claim because she found someone local who wanted it (you apparently). The issue is the shipping cost .... which I fear could be $50 (Ohio, 44720), these were heavy. Very heavy. My real purpose, frankly, is as possible spare parts for a (probably non-working) 1620 (the KSR keyboard version of the same basic printer). I have typewheels, ribbons (may or may not be any good) and full documentation (including the service manuals)(although I'm not sure that I know where they are). Any idea on the shipping cost to Ohio, 44720? By the way, the 1610/1620 does have software handshaking (ETX/ACK), and if you short a jumper on the CPU board, it's serial interface runs at 1,200 baud. In that case, you MUST use ETX/ACK handshaking, but it will print at 45 cps instead of 30 cps (and I seem to recall that it does bidirectional printing in that mode also, if the next line has been fully received). The difference is quite significant.

Now I want to give it a home... I checked it out--it works just fine and includes several typewheels (all various flavors of Courier) and ribbons as well as the operator's manual. Includes forms tractor. In pretty good condition for a 30 year old printer. This is an RO (no keyboard) model in charcoal color skins. Serial interface 110-300 baud w no handshake; 1200 using ETX/ACK. Free for shipping from Eugene, OR. Cheers, Chuck
