I'm looking for the top clear plastic paper guide for my IBM Proprinter II Dot Matrix. If anyone has one or knows where to get one, please advise.

Well the printer model is 4201-002 and the part number I need is 87X9642. I see them on google for sale off websites but the cheapest is $40 USD plus shipping and that's rediculous.
IIRC the IBM Proprinters were a bit like Lego. Everything could be fitted from one Proprinter to another with ease. I refurbished dozens of them in the mid to late 90s, just about every relative with a PC got one when they were decommissioned at the office. By parting out one Proprinter I was able to fix 3 - 4 others. I made people promise not to bring them back when I gave them away 
So there's a good chance that 'any' Proprinter lid will fit on yours.

I see that the part numbers for the Proprinter XL are different from that of the regular proprinters. What is different about the XL?
