1520 plotter parts and supplies

Post by srowe »

I'm planning to order some replacement gears for my 1520 from the US, given the postage costs I was wondering if there is anyone in the UK or EU that would like to do a joint order?

I'm also looking for someone in Germany to order and then post on some replacement pens (the postage costs quoted are too high).

I still have paper rolls that should work with these plotters, PM me if you're interested.

Not sure how much you're paying include postage etc, but looks like there's a boxed plotter for sale in the UK for £40 with apparently little use (states brand new) in case that interests you.

The gears will be split, they just age with or without use. The replacements are brass so are immune to that. I bought a set of NOS pens a while ago but they're all dried up. Modern replacements seem hard to find.

I would be interested in where you plan to get the parts from. I recently managed to get the plotter but the pens were dry. I am in Australia so can't go in on the UK/EU order :(

The gears are available from here:

and also on eBay

The pens I've found are these
