OT--Plotter parts
Have power supply, I/O, X-Y converter cards etc from a HP pen plotter.
Anybody interested? I tore the thing apart and used the base to construct a roll-a-way stand for my bandsaw. Quite a bit of aluminum sheet parts which I'll use for whatever. The electronics are good to the best of my knowledge. |

Thanks for the offer but did you happen to price what that (I assume
working) plotter was worth before you tore it apart? If it was a E-sized HP plotter, it was still worth over two thousand dollars to the right buyer. Ironically I just sold a similar HP plotter a couple of months ago for that price. You might want to Ebay the parts if you are willing to guarantee that they work. Even parts machines are worth hundreds of dollars to current users. Of course, it does make for a very nice bandsaw stand too. TMT "Ace" wrote in message ...

Yeah...I was surprised too.
If you need a E-sized drawing, you need it. Go to your Circuit City and try to buy a E-sized printer off the shelf. Also, some CAD programs still expect and only work with a HP pen plotter even though HPGL is supposed to be a portable data format and drivers are supposed to be updated. Finally, some clients WANT pen plots...hey, its their money. So if you have someone who NEEDS a E-sized drawing produced by a CAD program that expects a HP pen plotter, the older HP roll around plotters are still the ticket.

TMT Well better buy them up on ebay. An HP E size pen plotter was $100 last I checked. I threw away two working D size pen plotters two years ago because no one wanted them. |
