[OT] Pens for SHARP CE-150 printer/cassette interface
Message #1 Posted by Miguel Toro on 7 Jan 2012, 2:50 p.m.

Hi,

I recently bought a Sharp PC-1500 + CE-150 interface for 40$ on eBay. The PC-1500 is as new and the CE-150 needed a battery replacement that I made, but the printer came without pens. Since I know that there are a lot of fans of Sharp pocket computers in this forum, I would like to ask if someone knows where I could find spare pens for the printer.

The PC-1500 is a beauty and I do not understand why it has a so low value at the auctions. Anyway, it was good for me. I think I had an excellent deal. Thanks and regards,

Miguel

Google for "Christiane Laß" in Germany. Her company sells accessories for medical equipment, the pens amongst them. Url: http://www.lass-hno.de

In 1980s', PC-1500 was one of the most popular pocket computers in Hong Kong because it was cheap and could be programmed in machine language. However, it has a large form factor and can only display one line only, making it less attractive especially when compared with later models such as PC-1350, PC-1360, PC-1600 and PC-E500S.

I prefer the PC-1500A.
I really like my 75D (1 line display.)

Do you know the pen that contain 3 tips: a pencil, a rolling-ink pen and a pen to write on a tablet computer? The pencil without the tip fits inside a dried-out pen. It can be refilled in seconds with a new pencil core in seconds. Plus, it is also the spirit of SHARP (was their first product) to use a pencil for that.

A dried-out pen is easy to obtain.
