    SPACEBALLS : the black ribbon -or- Fixing an ImageWriter II black ribbon

    Howdy Everyone, I've been looking, on and off, for an ImageWriter II for years. I'd found that, at least here in Canada, they have been a little harder to find in decent shape and for a fair price for some odd reason. Since my elementary school days in the 80s, spewing out ream after ream of...
