More ID questions: Centronics 503 printer

[Ian King]

I've had this printer for a while, but I've never found a reference to it in any literature.  It bears the legend 'Centronics 503' on the front.  It's a wide carriage tractor-feed character printer on a pedestal stand, and actually works pretty well.  It's that slightly-orange yellow that I remember Data General being fond of for a while.

One of the other things about it: I have a full case of ribbons for it.  I've been unable to find a cross-reference that might tell me if there is any other printer that takes these.  Any suggestions?  -- Ian
