Can't say much about the strips of paper, but the tractor feeds
(the metal gears, etc.) along with ladder-shaped, flexible forms
made of metal, have been made into chairs!  The shape of the "seat"
and "back" can be adjusted by pulling (or pushing, I don't remember
which) the knob on the right-hand side, and rotating it just like
you used to do in order to align the paper with the carriage control
ribbon.  The price in Japan, around a year ago, was in the $4,000
range.  Only 1/30 of the price of the original printer, eh?
