I used a Toshiba TC55257-10 chip (because I had it in my junk box), but
any JEDEC-standard 32Kx8 SRAM (like the 43256) should do.  This will cost
around ten dollars.  To install it, pull off the platen knob, and press
two plastic spring latches (one on either side of the front edge of
the printer).  The cover should hinge open backwards, and the RAM goes
into the empty 28-pin socket behind the platen.  

Good luck.
