Nice. We've got one of those 4631 hardcopy units,
but nobody with any
knowledge about them (is there any particular Tek they're supposed to be
used with?)
I used a 4052 many years ago with the dual floppy. I think the 46x1 devices
are all compatible. The one 4611 that was around back then printed a
different size image than the 4631's.
They should work with a 4010-1 or later storage tube terminal. They also
has 613 monitors that they would also work with.
I have a 4631 sort of. I purchased is as that and thats what the plate
says but somebody put the 4632 video interface board in it so I can't
use it with my 4010-1. Anybody have a junk 4631 I could get the board
from? Or a 46x1 they don't want?
any way to get the consumables for these. I recall
some special roll of
paper, plus a liquid fixing material. didnt they come out wet?
The 46x1 used dry silver paper which was exposed by the single line CRT in the
hard copy unit then developed with heat. The I think the 3m 7?? silver paper
will also work. Tek number may be 006-1603. The stuff has a shelf life
so you probable won't get good copies with the old stuff from ebay etc
I haven't been able to try my out of date roll. I don't know if anybody
still makes the paper but a new roll used to be >$100. It was also used
for microfiche printers.
