Is that powder blue, kind of an A-Frame design? I had to pass on one
a few years ago because I could _not_ fit it into a full-sized cargo
van - it was 2" too tall at the frame.

I have no manuals, but I did rescue the 6800-based controller box. It's
about the size of a small S-100 enclosure.

The Calcomp Plotter I saw had a permanently affixed sprocketed mylar loop
that you taped drafting paper down to. Perhaps you could find/make that?

Maybe we are not talking about the same device. You have pictures?
