Re: Wanted: HP Laserjet 4

Have parts and toner. Just like having several of one piece of test gear. Swap parts, keep it running. As others have concurred, commercial equipment used in a home business lasts and lasts and lasts. Cheep to run and service.
LJ4's have gone sky high on the bay. 200$+! Most have 200k+ page count. Not willing to take a risk for that price.
Took Dave's advice. Bought an 8150DN, low page count. (26k) Seeing these units for sale with 1M+ imprints is common.
My choice was based on what would be supported in 10 years. LJ4's are 20 years old now. Nothing wrong with age. Parts are becoming difficult to find at a reasonable price, however.
Still have a rehabbed LJ4 (new fuser and total consumable parts PM) with all the extra parts and toner. This one cost 60$ with 5 new OEM toner cartridges. That's a metric ton of printing. It's in a storage trailer. Due to the new abode, I'll see that stuff shortly before the snow flies. No use to me now. Compare the cost (including consumables) of a rehabbed commercial printer with a wally world special or one aimed at small offices, (assuming that you're capable and willing to do the work yourself ), makes these an affordable alternative.

Hi Norm,
Why (do you need a laserjet 4), may I ask?
? Dan

Title says it all. Reasonalbe page count, please. Must be working.
Will pick up in the northeast.
Have jetdirect cards, so that is not necessary.
