HP97 The journey begins

[teenix]

One spic'n'span printer unit.

I haven't tested it yet, but the carriage runs back and forth along the worm gear quite nicely now and the motor doesn't strain at all.

The motor with capacitor measure 12 ohms which is 3 above the minimum so should be ok. C2 across the motor seems to polarised but I cannot find a part listed in the service manual. This seems odd, in that the motor has the voltage reversed when the motor has to home the print head.

I figured out the paper out mechanism

cheers
