Hi everyone!

I'm looking for the Philips SBC 437 continuous ("fan") paper tractor for Philips printers VW 0030/NMS 1431/NMS 1435/NMS1436.

I guess it is quite a useless piece of hardware right now, but I'd love to complete my Philips "office" set.

Thank you in advance

Not useless , as there are still ink cartridges for sale :

Ink cartridge

I have two working printers . Maybe I could sell one , or just the paper tractor.

Yes, I know about the cartridges and I have bought several of them so far.

I mean "useless" as "extremely obsolete", 'cause page-by-page paper feeding is really overkill.

If you are willing to trade one of the paper tractors, I'm your man! Big smile

Nice to know that there are still compatible ink cartridges for sale. Does anyone know the equivalent for the SBC 427 (VW0010?)

And a pretty cheap way to print as well: you can get a brand new printer tape for 6 € and they are good to print up to 2 million chars. That's should be more way more that 1.000 pages and thus, less than 0.006 € per page. Noisy, slow, retro and fun!
