-    text: It used four MR44 1.35 V Mercury button cells, which are no longer manufactured. The WEINcell MRB675 is a "zinc air" substitute that works well. Several other batteries with the correct voltage will fit, but they are for fundamentally different applications, like hearing aids, and are made to discharge constantly. They will not stop when the device will turn off, and will not last very long.

-    text: I have a PC-1 and still use it to this day. I have a friend repairing the printer batteries and I will attempt to re-ink the ribbon. I am looking for a digital recorder that will work with the cassette interface.

-    text: I have a PC-2 with the printer /cassette interface. The pens in the printer use a water based ink and I seriously doubt that you would be able to find replacements. Your best bet might be to refill the ink pens. I haven''t tried it on mine yet, but inkjet printer ink might work fine. If it''s too saturated, you might want to thin it with distilled water.

-      @Emily - I am actually going to attempt a repair for the cloudy issue on my PC1 in the next couple of weeks... If you want me to let you know how it goes, send me a PM thru the old-computers.com forums (Username: Questor).

-      I still have mine.. although I have tried to replace the batteries, but it still fails to operate. Mine, however, is the Sharp version of the TRS. I have the notebook adapter that includes a thermal printer, minicassette data drive, and a nice little case. I also have several programs that run electrical calculations and statistical data.
