You lose me here. Who cares about the resale value. What matters is
what is the value to you. If you can get a fantastic laser printer back
in operating condition for ?25 with little effort, it sounds like a no
brainer to me.
Hi
How about a 4si+ w/ duplex for $25. Just needs rollers. That is
what I use now.
I do have some collectables.
I have a Centronics 603 that was relabled as an Intel printer ( painted I also have an early Epson printer made in the US
that is a chain
printer.
I have a couple early fx80 compatable dot matrix
printers
and last a nice Brother daisy wheel w/ several special wheels

I snagged a HP 4Si last year with a bunch of spare parts (fusers, empty
toner carts). The unit had 16MB RAM and the PS option, plus the network
interface that supports Macs as well (which is why I wanted it). I added
another 8MB and all I need is a duplexer. There was a service manual
included. Its not bad for its age having ethernet, 600DPI and 17PPM, seems
to be made to last forever.
Does anybody here bother drilling and refilling toners for those machines?
Older laser printers seem to last forever, my original Epson Actionlaser
1500 still works fine and that was purchased new in the mid 1990's.
