Given the serial number, your ImageWriter II was made in the first week of 1993.

Cool! Thanks for the info, how did you figure that out anyway? I know there is a decoder for the Mac but never heard of one for an ImageWriter. Pretty cool!!

Here is the inside of the broken Ribbon
so basically the rubber wheel degraded?

I think it's some sort of foam rubber which is saturated with ink.
I'm not absolutely certain though. Maybe someone can confirm?

I'm not 100% sure what it is or was but its suppose to advance the ribbon and twisting the knob did nothing. Maybe genuine Apple ones were prone to this at this age?

@ Trag where do you suppose I could get "MacPalette II"? The last time I checked MicroSpot was still selling legitimate copies, but you had to call them and ask.

There was a serial version and an appletalk version, so you may want to wait and see how you're going to use the printer. I don't know if Microspot still has both versions.
