David Hefner Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Bought a 1025 off eBay that was untested, needed a fuse for sure. Got it working but the head has some buildup on it, and the top several pins won’t fire. Anybody know where I could find a working head? I know the printer is the same as an Okinawa ML 80: but not sure the head is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) if you haven't busted the pin & wire junction... wd 40 work it / then print head lube(high temperature lube)! Edited November 23, 2017 by _The Doctor__ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 You might want to consider the possibility that the pin driver shorted and blew the fuse and/or head. That's pretty common on most dot-matrix printers. Bob the Okidata head should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
