    Default 2 Commodore MPS 803 Printers Free To Good Home

    More printers to give away,... here we have 2 Commodore MPS 803 Printers

    1st one is beige and gave a good self test though I have not hooked this up to a computer. Print is a bit faint but carts can still be had new.

    2nd is black and was not great on self test. I have not given it a thorough inspection but I think it needs a good lube and a new ink, not to mention a good clean as this one comes with a nice layer of scank attached

    Basically whoever want's these only needs pay the postage or come to Oldham and collect.

    I could take these to RetroCollect in Leeds 15/03/14 if that suits anyone better but I will be hopping mad if I drag them down there and no one shows for them so you must promise you are 100% if you want me to bring them there.

    Thanks for looking

    Rob,

    I believe that Bas is staying over at yours on the 15th evening. If no-one else shouts up for these, I'll pick them up on the 15th when I plan to pop over to see you both.

    I'll have something for you in return.

    Declaring interest (both of them - if possible)!
    (depends on P&P price - any idea what postage to Slovakia (82103) can cost? if it will be too much, I have UK address (NW2 7JP) as well, so, please, can calculate postage pricce to the UK too?)

    Merly mate, consider them yours. Saves me mucking about packaging and getting quotes and waiting for couriers. Plus I know you've got a thing for old printers

    Unhappy

    I just thought that there is no "declaring interest" in his post, but - I know - it is your choice...

    I agree there is not the actual wording "Interest Declared" but it does pretty much suggest he would like them. From my point of view letting Merlin have them is good for me as he can collect and after all I am giving these away so minimum hassle is best for me.
    If it's deemed I'm out of order here then I will of course reconsider.

    @ Skromny

    Let me pick them up from BB and give them a once over to see if they are fully working. I have a couple of other 803s and I'm sure that we can work something out.
