Just had a delivery of more prime quality junk!
I have an HP 7550 pen plotter, complete with HP-GL manual
and quick reference. No operator's manual as yet. This
thing is huge, with a 68000 CPU, and takes A3 paper
manually fed as well as auto-feeding A4. However, here's
the question:
How do I get the plotter to open the paper drawer?
Is it a front-panel operation, or do I just pull? I've
pulled quite hard, so maybe it's just stuck :-(
Oh, and I also got a 4-track Philips tape deck, wherein the
belts have not just stretched, but liquified -- yuck!
