I considered the Tektronix 4051 hardcopy unit, but my search turned up zilch for the paper (3M Dry Silver type) Price is right, the printer looks great, but no source for the paper that I can find. randy ________________________________ From: cctalk <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org> on behalf of systems_glitch via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Saturday, December 2, 2017 7:36 AM To: Mattis Lind; General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Ebay listings from potomacstore I know a few of us have bought from them before, my experiences have been positive. I think the last thing I bought was a Teletype Model 33 ASR that fell on its face, seller made a pretty good deal as it was local pick-up and essentially it was a parts bucket at that point.

I would photocopy them within a few days of them. The paper was still available into the late 80's but the Hunt brothers with the Silver scam pretty much killed it. If you kept the printouts in a binder/drawer they would last quite a long time. I think I still have some. The 2nd generation Tek printers did a pretty good job of keeping clean, but the first one did need quite regular cleaning. I somewhat remember the small but I guess being in my 20's it didn't bother me that much :-) Where out HCU was, there was a lot of ventilation so it never got that bad. -pete On Sat, Dec 2, 2017 at 7:32 PM, Jon Elson via cctalk <cctalk at classiccmp.org> wrote:
