A bit of a coincidence, but I have had a BJ50 sitting in the cupboard for years. I bought it at least ten years ago and haven't used it for eight or so. Just the other day I thought it was time to turf it - it is sitting by the front door waiting for the next bin run. I'll pull it out - let me know if you're interested in having it. Who knows what condition the print heads are in or even if you can still get replacements. I used it with a Sharp PV5000 (http://www.pocketpccity.com/articles/1999/5/1999-05-11-Sharp-Mobilon-Pr o.html), but that is another story....
