The PC-1251 in my collection came with that CE-125 printer and tape drive setup.

Also included were the full set of manuals for all of the devices.

As can be seen in the pictures, everything works perfectly and is in very good cosmetic shape.

(sigh!!!)

I started coding on a PC-1245, which was a birthday-present. That was 25 years ago... GAWK! Time passes!

Thanks for the site. I have a PC-1251 which I just revived by installing new batteries. I was recalling the times when (before getting the PC-1251) I wished to get hold of a PC-1211, so famous back then, and I could not. But eventually I got a complete PC-1500 with plotter and cassette output - I was wondering whether it is possible to get hold of plotter ball-pens at all.
