I was vert happy to get mine. I had an Okimate 120 21 pin printer and an image writter II. I missed the Okimate after selling it but the MPS fills the gap.
I had the MPS 1200 variant which lacked the centronics port so it only worked with Commodore Serial out of the box. I think it had a removable interface cartridge so you could swap it out with IBM Parallel and RS-232 serial. Good overall printer and yes you can still get new ribbons. Last I checked, before I sent my printer off to a friend, the ribbons were still made because the mechanism was still being used in industrial or some other sector. Cool video.
Great video! I had one of these with my 128 back in the day.

Interesting and a slim design for its time.
The shape and color of the MPS 1250 is a great match for the C64C or 128.

I think you are right about the interchangeable interface. Other than that they are identical. Amazing workhorse!
Hey... I had one of those
Happy to see that this video is bringing back memories for some folks out there.
Will you please sell this printer to me?
Sorry, this one is a keeper. I have a new video on the MPS 1250 comming soon. Spoiler aleart, I travel to the dark side and connect it to Window$ 10!
