Digital BW, The Print

Ed,

Some people have managed to get bent tines back in place with tweezers and a
gentle touch. There is a picture of some repaired tines in folder:

Files > Printers and ink carts

On the group's homepage.

Also do an archive search for posts from Tiger Shark who was doing some
research on this. I believe he had found a supplier for the connector
sockets.

This was adressed some time ago. There is a parent company that 
makes/sells the connector, but I didn't note it down although I used 
to specify connectors for HP. However I think the sibling company is 
"Elco". I DO have the exact part number so you can search for it on 
this list or do a geaneral web search. I have the company page 
bookmarked among about my thousand bookmarks<g> so it would be hard 
for me to find but I could try if you have no luck. The exact part # 
is "ELCD 9501". That's assuming the 1280 is the same as 1270 in this 
regard.
