panama800 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Got a 1027 on ebay last week for 60 dollars. Perfect condition except the print head of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ransom Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'd buy a couple of them, when they're available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panama800 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) If his test go well. He is going to make a killing. There are a lot of 1027 out there with dead heads. Edited July 30, 2017 by panama800 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodLightning Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 If his test go well. He is going to make a killing. There are a lot of 1027 out there with dead heads. I would be amazed if there are any out there with original print head intact. Possibly those sealed new-in-box that were never actually used?

Gunstar Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) I would be amazed if there are any out there with original print head intact. Possibly those sealed new-in-box that were never actually used? Nope, not even sealed in box can protect these heads from deteriorating, just ask Best Electronics and B&C... I'm down for one or two new print heads myself, so mark me down if people are being marked down. Edited July 31, 2017 by Gunstar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nezgar Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Maybe Best and B&C would be interested in a bunch to help sell their stock. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If his test go well. He is going to make a killing. There are a lot of 1027 out there with dead heads. Probably some Deadheads out there with 1027's, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irgendwer Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Thanks for all the positive feedback. I will start a separate order thread when the contest is over and try to find a more shipping cost friendly solution for oversea orders too. I have no clue if the Abbuc is interested in distributing the part via its shop (which is IMHO not a bad idea) Stay tuned... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idavis Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Congratulations on this. I knew it was a matter of time, and yes that video sure had the memories flowing back. I too would like to get my 1027 working again. I know my Dad would love to hear it and see it running. I bet he would rather use it to do his writing than his pc, especially with all of the frustrations he has had lately. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lange Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Any new news on the printer heads? He is entering the solution into a Abbuc contest this fall. To be eligible for the contest, the solution must appear first for the contest. I believe they will be available shortly afterward. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Dammit, Janet! I threw my trusty 1027 away 10 years or so ago when the head flew away. I had heard that Brad (at Best) ditched all his 1027s because there was no hope back then. Now I am gonna have to search and find a replacement. Loved that 1027. I will certainly take a couple of the rubbers when they become available! Thanks for the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 They are not cheap, but available. I think I could also initiate an omnibus order of those: InkRoller.JPG I would buy a couple of rollers as well. I used the same roller for many years, re-inking them along the way. My ink rollers never flew apart.. Yes, it too was thrown away with the old 1027 I had. Whaaaaayyyy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathy Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hello guys BTW the license plate holders in the picture were also "almost correct". As in "German license plates would have fitted if the plates would have been just a tad smaller". So I had new license plate holders made. If you are interested please contact Wolfgang (our president). Sincerely Mathy PS those old license plate holders are very nice for decorating a computer room.
