Well, it was pretty easy to open, at first there was no screws to be seen, but there were couple at ''machine'' room. Then, the paper rolls (hope that's its name?) had to be taken off, which were held place by locking ''cross-fitted'' hex screws. after that, half of machine lifted off. At the main power board was some filter caps resistors and main fuse, with bit strange holder, accepts normal and long size fuses. The transformer was surprisingly big, probably because there is no SMPS, only linear, but I'm not sure does that effect transformer size. Transformer had marking: 2202405060, possibly 220-240VAC 50-60hz? output voltage is unknown as for now, but power rating is probably around 75w, as that is whole system power consumption
The horizontal movements and all ink ''placement'' and stuff was controlled by two pretty big one stepper motors, 4 wire (bipolar?), couple brushed motors, other even had changeable brushes, pretty rare these days for that size. And the ink placement itself was processed with solenoid, which just stamped letter. The feedback for this system was processed by opto-components, pretty handy, i would have guessed micro switches but this was pleasant surprise.
The main logic board was well, full of logic's and discrete components. Bunch of 74-series logic's, some ROMS too and other components . I don't know about ROMS/RAMS anything, but 74 is more familiar. brands were SGS, TI and such, good stuff
At keyboard there wasn't much of interested, bunch of 1n4148 signal diodes. At LED board there was couple of IC's more, 74 series and apparently resistors for LED's.
But, that's all for now
