CGP-115 Color Graphic Printer

[sciencegirl100]

I have been trying to fix this printer, and I would like to find replacement mechanisms. According to Tandy Wiki it uses the ALPS DGP-1302 mechanism. I was hoping that because of its widespread use in other printers from Atari, Commodore, Sharp, and Texas Instruments, I would come across many surplus devices.

Does anyone know where I can find this mechanism or maybe a replacement printer?

There are people who have repaired these printers.
The mechanism used was also used in the TRS-80 PC-2 printer and the Atari 1020 printer.
You might have more success with a wider search.

I know that there were places selling 3D printed gears for the printers.

The gears and pens are available AFAIK.

That's a good start... I wonder if the pens can be found cheaper than $26/pack under another brand name.
