I have some new ribbons here too, but they are dried out from age. I have an Okimate 20 that acts funny, I need to get around to trying to fix it. Only C= interface here, never met the Amiga interface yet. Sorry...

The crappy thing about these printers is the print heads were notorious for going out. Back when I originally had one in the 80's the print head went out and I stayed on hold with Okidata for >2 hours getting a warranty replacement.

 Only printer I ever owned back in the 80's was a Gorilla-Banana. Damn thing was "cheap" as far as printers went back then, but never ever had a problem with it.

Gorilla-Banana? I remember that name :lol:

Don't feel bad, my first printer was an Commodore MPS-801. That was a crappy-crap printer back when 9pin printers ruled the day.
