Thanks for this. I was fortunate to have an Epson FX-80 dot matrix printer in 1983. My father bought it for me. I had no idea they were so expensive - at least $1500 in todays dollars (I could only find the price of the MX-80 in 1983, not the FX-80 which was even more expensive).

I wish my father was alive for me to thank him yet again for this marvelous gift that must have put him out quite a bit.
