Subject: Commodore 1520 Plotter
I'm going through some stuff my Aunt brought me last month, she's
apparently helping someone that was seriously into Commodore
computers clean out. In the pile is a Commodore 1520 Plotter. I had
one of these back in the 80's. Am I correct that there isn't any
source of pens any more? Of course I haven't even had time to see if
it works.
The real treasure is all the books. There are dozen's of books on
the VIC-20, C-64, and electronics (lots of Radio Shack books from the
70's and 80's, and other books). There are at least the first two
Compute Guide to the VIC-20 and the first 3 for the C-64! :-)

I used to own one of these; it's a cool little toy.
according to this web page:
a German firm was supplying pens (apparently, they are also
used in some obscure bio-med equipment) in 2007. So, maybe
they're still available. This page also has some handy
hints for these units. . . . .
