Hi! I know this is probably off-topic, but I figured that someone here may be able to give me a bit of info on this thing. Today my church gave me this old copy machine (Is mimeograph the proper word for it?). I've figured out how to load the paper and turn it on, but that seems to be all. I put the paper in the one side, drop the loading rollers, push down a lever on the other side, some sort of liquid squirts out of a reservoir onto a roller, the paper gets pulled through, and comes out the other side (the side with the lever) into another tray, and is damp (from whatever squirted on to the roller). On the side where the paper comes out, there's a large aluminum roller with a slot in it. I've seen things like these used in movies (I think), and on that roller is what looks like a piece of carbon paper. If so, how does it work? Now the questions: - What is the liquid in the reservoir? It looks and smells like alcohol (sort of - it's been sitting in there for about 20 years) - What type of ink (if any) would it use, and where would I find this ink? - Where does the thing (document - whatever) go that I would want to copy? I think that's all the questions that I have for now. Please reply to me privately (don't want to take up the list's bandwidth). I'd like to get this thing working, since it's in pretty good shape, appears to function, and still has the original dust cover :) ThAnX, -- -Jason Willgruber (roblwill(a)usaor.net) ICQ#: 1730318 <http://members.tripod.com/general_1>
