There's a replacement part number on the mfgr's ID tag.  I have a look
and take this to private email.

Ho!  Where were you when my DecWriter II stopped working?  :-)  It's
now in the parts stash out in the old Chevy wagon.  (Now that I have a
shop and matching junkpile at home, the old Chevy is scheduled to go
to the junkyard and I'll have *yet another* bunch of old stuff to sort
out.  I wonder how long it'll be before I can actually build a fire in
the forge and do something interesting?  Well, a patch where an old
junk car has sat for a few years makes a nice flower bed or even
potato patch if no oil has spilled.  Mulch, you know, kills all the
knapweed and couchgrass. :-)
