There is a Mivatec MIVA 25 Photoplotter for sale on eBay. I think this is the model that uses a 1" square high resolution CRT to image the film. The CRT is indexed across the film to make the exposure. I saw sample films from one of these systems in the mid 1980's and was impressed with the quality. If I didn't already have a photoplotter I would take a chance and buy this one. It looks like the German company that makes them is still in business so assistance and spare parts may still be available. If I remember right these units were about $55,000 in the late 1980's.
