WANTED: HP-46
It's a long shot, but... subject is self-explanatory. Based in Europe but will consider overseas shipping.
Had one of these clackety-clackety printing beauties on my desk until a few years ago, when I (stupidly) sold it off due to lack of use. Boy, do I regret that! :^( Thx & happy holidays, --Roland |

I have one that I would consider to sell but: * it has no display option * it does not print correctly. I think I have the matching cloth or vinyl cover for it but no carrying case, manual, etc. I suppose it needs some mechanical work (or at least lubrication) of the printing mechanism (for which I have not found time yet). The machine is based in Vienna, Austria. As it is probably impossible to find an Option 001 display board I thought recreating the display (maybe with modern means) might be an interesting electronics project. Kees van Sanden has a close-up picture but I have not found a full schematic or description of the protocol. I can make some pictures if required but not before Christmas. I don't really know what to ask for it, so any opinions on what might be a fair price are welcome. |

RE: WANTED: HP-46
Hi Siegfried,
many thanks for your reply. Mine had the Option 001 display (which I didn't realise _was_ optional at the time), and the printing mechanism was noisy too; worn motor bearings appear to be a common issue with these. I found the service manual, but as you point out, it lacks the display board schematics. Recreating that would indeed be a very ambitious project, and an original spare board is no doubt pure Unobtainium. I have no clue what these go for nowadays either. And no rush with the pix. I'll get back to you after Xmas. Meanwhile, I wish you -- and everyone here -- happy holidays and all the best for the new year! Best regards, --Roland |
