I've had this printer for a while, but I've never found a reference to it in any
literature. It bears the legend 'Centronics 503' on the front. It's a wide
carriage tractor-feed character printer on a pedestal stand, and actually works pretty
well. It's that slightly-orange yellow that I remember Data General being fond of for
a while.
One of the other things about it: I have a full case of ribbons for it. I've been
unable to find a cross-reference that might tell me if there is any other printer that
takes these. Any suggestions? -- Ian
