I managed to score this 1984 Apple Scribe Printer on eBay for 99 cents. The guy was pretty local, so shipping was only $11 bucks.

It was in pretty bad shape when I got it. Very, very yellow. I took the whole thing apart and after a few retr0brite sessions, it looked as good as new.

Here's some before and after shots.

I hooked it up to my //c and gave it a go. My ribbon tore and I had to tape it back together, but at least it works.

I did a whole write up on the restoration process on my site if anyone wants to check it out: Apple Scribe Restoration

Good deal! You don't see many of those these days. Again, nice retr0brite work.

Nice write-up and photos, thanks for going through all that trouble.
