Hi Folks...

Today seems to be all my elderly but well loved HP7475A plotters birthdays
...I was in a local drawing supplies shop and there was a box on the floor
marked <Obsolete Rotring, everything 1 UKP each> or words to that
effect....rummaged through....a pair of HP7475A pen holders (used to be 25
UKP each), a bundle of nibs (also used to be 25 UKP each), including some
of the almost indestructible tungsten ones that run at a hideous speed....
and a couple of bottles of ink (normally a fiver at least...)....three
years ago when I bought my plotter its one <Good> pen, it cost me over 50
UKP for the nib, a holder and a bottle of insanely black, rubberised
archiving ink.....now it has three <good> pens, and I'll have several nib
sizes to choose from, which should speed up printing massively as I'll
have a fine one for doing small stuff, a big one for doing big stuff and an
enormous one for doing groundplanes and fills........Have a look round, if
you have  an old plotter you might find this is your last chance....there
was other stuff there for HP75xx series, Roland DXY, and Calcomp, including
enormous numbers of cartidges of ink.....I should have listed it all, but I
was too busy trying to get all the 7475A stuff before anyone else came in
and wanted it :-))
