70vdc in that thing!? Hee hee hee...I'm sure it burnt out one or 2
buffer chip if the printer is decent enough but I'm assured that
printer is hosed if it's recent made.
I have no idea why some guys would need 70vdc for unless it is for
color but that current draw is too much via 1pin?
That was the sole power to the monitor, there was no external power
cord for it.

Especially from the experience of the AT&T (Olivetti) 6300 video
interface using what looked liked a standard DB-25, but with one
line carrying 70vdc to power the monitor. A guy with a standard
PC printer cable discovered the only way I ever heard of to kill
a Radio Shack Daisy Wheel Printer II (a tire iron wouldn't!). It
also killed the 6300, but at the time they were easier to find.
