Radio Shack.
No, really! Radio Shack.
Last I checked, they still stock replacement pens for their CGP-115, (and
the PC-2 printer/plotter) which just happened to be based on the same
carriage & pens -- they're really quite reasonable (like, $4 or $5 USD for
a pack of 3 - either all black, or red/green/blue) and if you toss them a
few extra bones (like $3 or so) they'll have it shipped right to your house.
Oh, and the 1520 I just *happen* to have sitting next to my desk here at
work, uses a standard IEC 120V power plug - the same one you find on all of
your computer, office-calculator & other equipment - usually cost you
around $3.00 at a decent computer shop. (ahem - like mine... ;-)
Anybody want it?

Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig.
If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead
