#L300 takeup canister
4 messages in this thread
We are looking for a replacement takeup canister for our L300. Having a spare
would be very useful, but they are "muy caro" from you-know-who. Any offers or
alternatives appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, Jungle, it was nice to see another CIS denizen at Seybold. Right offhand,
I'm fairly certain that there are no alternate suppliers for whole takeup
cassettes. We have five between the two machines, and, believe me, if there was
something cheaper I'd have found it by now.
Curiously enough, however, there is somebody in New England that I remember
seeing in a TypeWorld from long ago that is making replacement lids for these
things – apparently the clips eventually wear them out. I'll go back through
the old issues and see if I can find them.

Collier Instruments, P.O. Box 9442, Berkeley, CA 94709 (415/845-6389) has an ad
in the 1st September issue of TypeWorld advertising L300 cassette *repair*, and
new cassettes for other machines. Don't know if they'd know anything about new
cassettes for an L300, but it might be worth a try. (I *knew* I kept all those
back issues around for a reason…)

Hear that, Jungle? (Thanks, Bill, I'll give them a buzz, too.)
