OK, so this was my first real project with my Compucarve, after finally getting a bunch of stuff fixed on it. Bought it reconditioned from Sears (bad idea) and only did a few small things (mostly just testing fonts and features) before things went haywire (I had to replace the QC, thanks Al for your help; as well as replacing the cut-motor cut-off switch and power supply).
Got her back up and running, and despite some brass roller issues (pilot error, for sure), I got this project done. This is an early Christmas gift for my sister and brother-in-law who have a dairy farm in upstate New York. The "artwork" was from a disc I got on eBay, and the rest of the design is my own. It is approximately 22" wide, 28" tall, and 5" deep. I have already found at least a half-dozen little things which I need to do differently if I do this again.

I forgot to get a photo of the artwork on the sides, but I will post that later, when I get a chance to take the photo.
