1984 Apple Scribe Printer scored for 99 cents
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.
