A typical German flatjoke.
I have no idea !!! However it's not a thermal printer, it's just a pen plotter hence uses normal paper. So I guess if I search a bit, might be able to find a roll of paper that might fit, from some desktop / Business / accounting calculator or something....
For now, there is still a little bit of paper left in the thing.
A pen plotter? Really. I wouldn't have guessed that. I remember using an hp pen plotter a long time ago. Made some really neat old school pics. I'd love to see some plots come out of that thing, well sometime if you get it all set up.
I'm transitioning... went back on hard keto last night; nothing but eggs and meats I've cooked from raw for the next week, until my guts get used to it and start working again.
I'm tired of feeling mostly like shit all the time because I'm right on the keto borderline; may as well feel like total shit for a few days and get it over with.

Yep pen plotter it is !
I figured it when I was working on the first GOULD. Even though it did not have the printer in it, the user manual did have a short paragraph about it, which made it clear. This was further confirmed when I looked in the service manual : there was a schematic describing the H/W interface between the CPU and the printer. Looking at how it was made and the kind control signal that it was producing, it was obvious it could only be a plotter not a printer.
Oh no....... ohhhhh...... noooooooooo.... I did it AGAIN !
Remember just a few days ago I talked about this horrible Gould 1604 scope that drove me nuts when I fixed it a year ago ? How I said it was a horrible experience that brought many grey hair, and how I promised myself I would never, ever buy a Gould scope again ?.....
Some time ago, I had a Gould scope in my stash:

I don't have it anymore, but there might exist one more where it came from, might have been scrapped in the meantime, don't know. In case you're interested, I'll have a look tomorrow if it's still there and silently take it away for you (no one will ever miss it).
G10 number two is being a total buzzkill. Extra crusty, 3x as much scrubbity-ing, and finally go to test it and... boots okay, but lens error as soon as I hit ZOOM.

Maybe someones out there designed an interface that can take the plotter data as an input, and in return produce data to drive a thermal printer instead ? That would be cool...

Oh that's nice of you !
Will have to decline the offer though ! As you and others rightfully said.. .they are horrible scopes !
Are you sure you aren't Irish?
Irish? Not that I knew of. Some ancestry from France and Dutch Limburg, but why Irish?
I doubt the first mechanic actually replaced the timing belt, if he did, then did he also replace the tensioner ?
Nope, it was replaced. I provided the new parts and asked for and got the old parts. I thought was that they set the new tensioner too tight.
Meh. This is the right way to do a heli... with two rotors in opposite directions.

flippin' frogs... could muff up a wet dream...
It's a bit overkill and impractical for most purposes you would want an heli for, Dwagon... Of course to move a fat adult 1,546 year old Dwagon, it's suitable...
I thought it would be obvious why a Dwagon would want a helicopter of that calibre...
McBryce.
Nah, that's why MIKE would want one!

Just realized as you said, that the real problem with this printer is not finding paper... real problem are the dried out pens that are most likely 100% unobtainium which means this printer will never print anything anymore, so it's useless !

Some fool will buy it. But it won't be this fool.
Hey they have "Make an offer" available.
Go ahead, make their day.
Hes been trying to flog that 732b face plate for a couple years now, I guess no one is as stupid as the seller themselves.
In another occasion a few pages back, I used the term "GPO" to mean "power socket", confusing some.

How to describe the Irish....
It is commonly held by non-Irish English speakers that the Irish phrase things in a similar manner to your posting:
"That's not nice of you to say. Most things I've touched were already broken before I repaired them. ;-)"
It is quite a normal way of writing, but a "picky" person, like myself might point out that if it wasn't broken you wouldn't have to repair it anyway.
I have made the comment whilst searching for something, that "it's always in the last place you look", only to be accused of an "Irishism", so it is a common remark, at least in Australia.
You, & others are so fluent in English that it is easy for native speakers to use phrases common in their own country, without thinking, to the bemusement of others.
I am as guilty of this as anyone.
There is a concurrent low-level discussion about the use of "was" where it is confusing for others even though it is common in some countries & other languages.

...But in this video he simply substituted NiMH packs. I thought they had different charge requirements vs NiCad. Is that really a good idea without modifying the charge circuit?
In other news, Hubby just totalled his Volvo S90 (the 1996 one). Timing belt went sploink. Eff my life.
Sorry to hear.
What have you Murphy done, that he is hitting you and your husband that hard?

That's what hit me as I went to bed last night ... wait ... are you going to do about the plotter pens?
You may be able to hack in a temp pen made from a small marker or some such thing, but it won't last long. We'll challenge you with that task later ...

Ouch. I know the feeling. In December 2010 at 117K miles I had the timing belt replaced on the Honda Civic by what I thought was a competent mechanic.
Exactly one year later on December 2011 at 134K miles the timing belt snapped. Had it towed to another mechanic. Their assessment: All 16 valves were bent so the head would have to be pulled and rebuilt. There are witness marks on the top of the pistons where the valves hit them. The good news: No cylinder wall scoring and no damage to the bottom end of the engine. They concluded that the engine was fine except for the head and was worth fixing. I agreed. Now I know mnem is gonna come back and say there WAS damage to the bottom end of the engine. I will restate that there was not. That same engine now has 193K miles on it and runs like a top with no odd noises.
I was without the car for 2 weeks while the head was rebuilt. Cost was an arse ripping $2K but in the end was worth it.
For those laughing at my Peugeot 107, it has a timing chain & a completely new motor is ~500€ (bare motor but still...)
