It's an Ibico PL-260 LSI.

Passes 1.6mm (0.064") boards through just fine, even with carrier card
thickening it to 2.1mm (0.0826").

It's an old-style laminator, with cold sprung rollers on entry and exit,
and sprung hot plates in the middle.

This style of laminator fell out of favour, since it requires cardboard
'carrier sheets', and has been superseded by hot-roller laminators.

Sadly, very few of the laminators being sold new these days are spring
loaded.

You might find a wonderful friend in eBay, or your local second hand
stores.
