I know of a few people still using the LA100. The print head is the same as
the LA210. There were 2 power supplies for the LA38/38, which might work in
ihe 100 or 210. I don't think any of the LA36 and LA180 electronics are the
same, although the heads were interchangable. Neither have any electronics
in common with the LA120.

LA36 and LA180 are the same mechanism? Are you
sure? I don't
recall much similarity there, especially in terms of speed.

I'll be scrapping some more LA100s (RO) shortly; any useful parts in there
for anyone? I believe that at least some parts are compatible with the
LA210
and others, including the LA34 & 38; can someone confirm that?
Also an LJ500 (B2), although it's probably clogged and I don't expect much
interest...
TIA,
