And I was already salivating for the 600 lines/minute HP2608 that was part of the HP 3000 system since I have the interface card for it. Looks like it went to a lucky someone else...

Ah yes, you are right, 400 LPM. Our IBM 1403 at the CHM is 600 LPM and is a pretty impressive (and VERY loud) beast when it prints at full tilt, so I'd think the smaller 2608 should give a nice visual and sound performance when it starts cooking... Cleaning your garage you must.

My project for the beginning of this year is to get my garage cleaned up. Maybe I'll finally have space again to try getting it working with an HP-1000. It says 400 LPM here, not 600. Still, that would be interesting to see work through a pile of paper. http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=315

Here is the restoration video. Works beautifully now: https://youtu.be/54bu0bM0Qjo Marc
