OK, more evidence that this purchase and I were meant to be...
My purchase also included 2 printers. A ZX Printer and a Timex Sinclair 2040.
I haven't tried either printer (I did get 6 sealed rolls of paper that I think are for the ZX Printer), but I noticed that the only power supply I had for anything was a 9V that was in the ZX Printer box. (Not sure if it is the one that came with the printer.)
The power supply runs the Zeddies (see, I am working on the name part!) fine.
But in researching the other printer, I see it needs a separate power supply. Checking around, it needs a 24v 1.2a and it needs to be 24vAC. Hmmm.
So I go to my power supply drawer, pull out the first decent size wall wart power supply I see...
24vac 1.5a. And the plug on the end.. Looks like it fits...
(Of course, I haven't tested either printer so no guarantee that they will work, but still...)
If it does, I will have to see about some paper for one of them. (Hopefully it is the 2040, as my research seems to imply that a standard roll of fax paper cut to the right size might work???)
No, I don't intend on doing a lot of printing...
I also did see the thread here on the replacement belt for the ZX Printer. Good part is that I do have a 3D printer to try if needed. Although, I have never tried any flexible filaments on it...
Just aesthetically, I prefer the ZX Printer. The size and form factor are awesome.
Although based on youtube videos, man that little printer is loud!!!
Not sure I need them, but just in case I did order a spare keyboard and an overlay (since I have the US models... ).
Hoping to have the time to work on them next weekend or sooner...
