CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!!
This is a cute little machine with critical
parts missing. It is suitable for use
as a doorstop, boatanchor, or coffee table
conversation piece. Parts and information are
not available as far as I was able to ascertain from the seller. The printer mechanism is based upon thermal printing; odd choice for a unit
with Arabic and English nomenclature. A roll of thermal paper left out in the sun will turn black.
This was obviously not a hot itme (no pun intended) during Desert Storm. It appears these units were pulled off the assembly line and sold for scrap. I wonder if any of them ever got to be used?
