[Coco] CGP-115 Plotter

[Rob Rosenbrock]

Fantastic!

I googled the commodore model and found several hits that look promising. There's even a page regarding the split gear issue.

My plotter is in its box, no doubt with a bad gear and dried up pens. I think I saw a baggie with a few replacement gears that might be okay. If I can hook it up to something, I might be able to get it working again.

Those five printers probably also share many other parts, apart from the obvious 4-pen white plastic barrel I see on their photos. Those were probably just rebrandings of the same machine with different plastic cases and different ways of fitting the machine in it. The Sharp has narrower paper rolls, I don't know about the others, I just discovered those models today.
