Back in the days I had such a printer, and when I started getting back some Oric hardware, it was definitely a long term objective to get one back.
Few weeks ago I found one on eBay, which apparently was in working conditions but as usual came without pens: Considering how small they are, and how expensive they were, it's definitely not surprising :)
That being said, I managed to find new stylus at Best Electronics (http://www.best-electronics-ca.com) an Atari specialist, which happened to have stylus for the Atari 1020 plotter - another machine built around the Japanese ALPS company hardware.
Next step: To find replacement paper!
Always nice to get something that is more than 30 years old and still works correctly :)
