Commodore Z (creator of the Cactus 6502 computer) seems to have a supply. He has provided
me with several rolls.

Yes, I have ruined a few printouts using the isopropanol method ;-) . On that subject, can
anyone recommend a source for the thermal paper used in the Silent?

The THERMAL paper that I used for the Silent 700s
was "white" and
very slowly changing to yellow or brown. Didn't hold up very well to
heat and/or sunlight.
Another thing that ruins thermal printouts is propan-2-ol (isopropyl
alcohol). It turn the paper black as if it has been heated.
Since I normally have a can of said solvent on my bench for cleaning
disk drive heads, connectors, etc, I have to be careful if there's a
thermal printer about.
