Wild Leitz TA41

[Stefan]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if someone on here have any information about an old plotter called "Wild Leitz TA41"?

I'm on the hunt for manuals/service manuals and such. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

From what I recall they were HPGL serial based - So just a big basic plotter..

Whilst I don't have service manuals, I'd treat it as any other Plotter - they are all either stepper or servo based - not very sophisticated devices.

To clarify, this is a plotter we've been using earlier, but have now given away. Problem for them is that it won't start, so something's broken, so they are on the search for service manuals and possible circuit diagrams.

Hmm.. Well I'd need more detail, but tbh most of these sorts of things are bullet proof, if it's been moved it'll be loose Connectors or simply incorrect serial comms parameters

All the WILD, WILD-LEITZ, LEICA TA's are fairly similar from what I recall.

I used to love running these things...

These are swiss made by a company WILD Heerbrugg, which went bancrupt in the 90s. For some time, Zund has done service for that machines, but not anymore.

If needing spare parts or help, you can try to contact www.mucad.com in Austria.

The electronics and mechanics of a TA10 and TA41 are completely different. Not even the pen and blade holders are the same.
