I've thought about buying one of the phase comparators that have a chart recorder, but I've been concerned about the availability of consumables (i.e. paper and ink / pens ). Are these things generally available? Only some models?

I see that the HP 117a uses pressure-sensitive paper. How well does it age? Would an old roll still be usable even if you found one? Would old traces fade away?

In a previous life I used Gould / Brush 220 chart recorders that used very smooth coated paper and liquid blue ink that was always making a mess. I wouldn't want to get into that again!

This fall/winter I want to play with the 117 I found, that
is after getting an antenna ... not for serious use but
would be nice to have at least one roll.
