That was just to show what they look like, I wasn't sure that you didn't actually mean a normal fax at the start. Thats a good pic of one.
I get the impression that they all can do the tattoists job for him & at your price I think he was on the winning end of a good bargin even if it was a gamble. They must be pretty rare since I have never actuall heard of one.

Back, right up to the 80's, our school only used a Gestetner copier (We called it a 'Bandag' or something similar) to copy notices to take home to our parents.
Anybody who knows of them will have warm fuzzy memories of the sheets being handed out in class & as each kid got theirs, we would wrap it around our faces & breathe in the alcohol fumes........

Only companys & libraries had photocopy machines back then.

I think a lot of members here will be on the lookout for the thermofaxes now. Thanks mate, great post, impressive.
