CBM 8026 Printer.... Pretty...

[dabone]

I know it's a rebranded OLYMPIA ESW-103, but this is the first one I've seen. Daisywheel IEEE-488 Printer for the PET line.
I don't have a voltage adapter to turn any of this pet haul on yet..

The little atom logo is amazing. It makes it look like this belongs onboard the NS Savannah.

I guess I should try to take some good photos of it, I haven't found any others on the web.

Hi - I know this is an old thread but I'm picking one of these up next week and I was wondering if you got it working and did you find any manuals/schematics?

Thanks.

If you look in the back, you will see a Commodore IEEE interface board connected to the Olympia driver board, I think I remember from working on some of those in the 1980s - there was a "RO" - Receive only version that had the front of the case pretty much chopped off, so no keyboard and a blanking panel... They were slow but good quality, depending on the ribbons - typically used with Wordcraft80, the Word Processor...

I've never even plugged it in, it's stored under my bed.

Pretty sure the original service manual - such as it was - was a small A5 ring binder with folded pull-out pages for the circuits, the sort of binder with lots of rings all the way up the page

But no schematics I can find.

I've just started to refurbish mine and three of the components have disintegrated. I'd be very grateful if you could find the time to take a look and let me know what they are. They are right by the power connector on the larger PCB.

Thanks very much.

Colin.
