Funny you should mention it -- just today I was in a Goodwill store, and  
there was a DMP-106 in the original box!  I didn't notice the price, wasn't  
clearly marked.
 
Not that it qualifies as a heavy duty printer, though my DMP-105 gave very  
little trouble until I finally sold it off.  (ISTR the 106 was just a 105  
upgraded with better feature firmware).
 
But my wife's business OS9 system had a Tandy daisy cutter, I mean, daisy  
wheel printer, I forget its DMP number, that indeed resembled a tank in every  
respect ;-)
Sure printed nice business letters.  --Mike K.
