A truly Mancunian printer.
This okidata dot matrix printer has been used exclusively in Manchester for its 21 year lifespan from its installation at Manchester General Hospital on February 10, 1994 (first use on the morning of February 11, 1994) to its 2000 move to Manchester EGCC airport where it still prints to this day.
You can use this printer for a manchester project for you mancunians like me, or for any other project you wish.
Thanks to Andrew Williams who used to work at Manchester General Hospital and now working at EGCC for the info about this printer's long history.
Here's hoping for another 21 years out of this amazing and extremely durable printer. long live Manchester's printer!
happy downloading people, and Glorry man utd!

Hello there! I used this sound for a radio play "Pony Please", published to YouTube at https://youtu.be/IRVdchCVPgw. Thanks for creating it!
