    “Great Computer Corporation”? I think there are GCC plotters around? I think maybe Signpal plotters are manufatued by GCC. Maybe this is an early one. I have never seen one quite like that though, it’s a bit of a looker 😆

    Closer to a rather large mangle than a clothes horse I would have thought 😮

    certainly looks like an economy model, that one 😆 or just some of it missing …
    when you say

    is it a wind up??

    Nik I can’t see a handle but I guess it could be a removable “windlass” type of thing possibly 😆

    Did he weld this up himself out of an old York MultiGym? 😆

    I saw a website that was advertising a method of building a plotter using scrap materials, but even that looked more substantial than this! Could it be an original prop from the 1970’s Starwars films? 😮

    Cheers, Dewi

    Ah ha!

    is this no less than an original 1991 Plotter Technology machine?

    If I remember correctly the ‘de-luxe’ model didn’t have a knife but a ‘hot-tip’ that tried to burn through the vinyl.

    Might make a bid as long as its no more than 25 quid!

    He also has an ebay ad looking for plotters, if he is buying & selling can’t see him doing much business with that kind of quality kit!
