I am the original owner of a Tally 2000 line printer that is free for
pickup in the Baltimore, MD (USA) area. The printer has a 128 character
set, a parallel differential interface, and was in regular use with an HP
1000 minicomputer from 1977 until it was decommissioned in 1994. Since
then, it has been stored in a heated and air conditioned office pending
refurbishing, which I no longer have the time to perform. At
decommissioning, the printer was operational but was beginning to
substitute characters, probably due to an error in the logic of one of the
character data lines. The HP 2607 was a rebadged Tally 2000.
The printer is complete with a stand, wire paper basket, and operator and
service manuals. Weight is approximately 150 pounds. Due to an office
move, it must go by June 29th or it will be scrapped.
The operator's manual is online here:

I'd prefer to see it go to a good home rather than being pushed off our
dock into the dumpster. If you're interested in picking this unit up,
please contact me at <jdbryan at acm.org>.
