You'll need to find someone local with a pickup truck, since you probably
won't find anyone willing to pay what it costs to ship it. I paid $385 to
ship mine from Pennsylvania to Denver. The "Draftmaster" 7596, I believe,
that we had at work weighed considerably more than mine, though it didn't
plot faster, or, in any detectable way, differently. It cost and weighed
more, and was more massive in its appearance. It was, however, an
excellent device.
one more thing . . . imbedded below.

I do have the manuals for the 758x series, by the
way.
I should have the manuals for both, but I've only definitely found one of
them.
I actually found the info for printing the test page
on their web site.
Well, I've had several people inquire about reproducing the two massive
manuals, nearly 1k pages each. I sent the manuals (user guide not
included) a Programming Manual and a Technical manual, the latter of which
has numerous 11"x33" foldout drawings, and they have sat at the printer's
for a couple of months waiting for an estimate on reproducing them to be
finalized. It won't be cheap because of those foldouts, which are
half-tones.
So, if anybody wants them...
Nasos.
