SHARP PC1500 RP PENS - Jlouis - 05-20-2016 03:08 PM
Hi to all,
I just got a Sharp PC-1500 for very cheep, including the printer cassete interface, as it was sold togheter here in Brazil, with the same S/N for both, with the name PC-1500 RP or RP2 (with more memory).
The printer cassete interface had the internal NiCad battery leaked too much, and I don't know the extension of the damage yet, so I want to know before take the time to try to revive it if there is still pens available for the print head.
If I could not find the pens, I would not bother to waste time on the pcboard.
I google searched it with no help.
I thank you in advance for any light in this subjet.
By the way, what a nice machine! Bulk, sturdy but powerfull, a pleasure to use, and a very beautiful machine!
Cheers
JL

There is a company in Germany selling new pens compatible with the Sharp CE-150 plotter: see here for 4 black pens and here for 4 color pens.

Really thanks, Didier.
Now I will check the pcboard.
I read somewhere that the NiCad is not necessary if we use a power source with ,
at about 1.5A. I have one, I will clean the board and check the pcb if it's alive.
Thanks one more time.

Sure. I fund them a while ago while searching for plotter pens for a Casio pb-770. Never ordered some though.
