[rescue] CalComp 1043CT pen plotter in need of rescuing

[hike]

These are wonderful printers.
Niche use.
Expensive to supply.
IMHO, the local electronic recycler would love to have it.

Or, the local Yahoo! FreeCycle mailing list.
Or, the local Craigslist.
Or, a local concern (business, charity, service club, school)
All of the above have local pickup and meeting so there's no costly
"shipping & handling.
