Don't know if they are worth anything, I've never had to pay for one - they
just keep arriving here!
They are useful though, as they correctly emulate a Teletype and allow
overprinting, which most modern printers don't, but I suppose that's only
useful if you have an interest in ASCII art!

Interesting. Well, my use is just for general programming printouts on
a PDP 11/23+. Is the LA75 a viable replacement for the Letterprinter
100? The 75 isn't period to the 11/23, but my concern about the 100
is ribbons. Ribbons for the LA75 are plentiful and cheap.
Thanks Jim, Tony, Allison for your replies.

Are DEC
Letterprinter 100's in nice, working, non-noticeably-yellowed
condition worth anything at present? Or are they pretty much recycling
fodder?

LA100 ribbons are still available. We are still running about six of them as
console terminals on our 11/84 systems at work.
