HP97 The journey begins

[AndiGer]

Hi Tony,

Well done! I thought you had cared about the printer mechanism before. Obviously not till today :-).
I once had a HP 82143A printer that had a dense print output. I put some oil to the spindle - et voilà - it worked fine. A pure mechanic problem.

Have a nice Sunday evening - and hopefully tomorrow you can report final success.
