Steve: I don't have the doc set for fixing a LA100, but I believe I do have a working LA100 that I need to move out. I should have another one or two LA type printers, but w/o the keyboards. -- Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------- C.

I get a short buzz from the paper feed motor at power-up but instead of flashing all it's indicator LEDs, both CTS and LINE stay illuminated. There's no carriage movement and the keyboard does nothing either. The basic vital signs are OK but I'm stuck without a service manual or schematics. Does anyone have access to these docs? I'd of course also be interested to hear of any common problems and/or things to check before I dive into all-out mending mode...
