Try the surplus property people at your University.  Chart 
recorders are expensive.  However, as more people go to 
computerized readouts in their labs, they keep dumping their
old recorders.  Here at Wisconsin, they let the public buy 
surplus items once a month from the warehouse, after depts.
get a chance at them.  Such sales are typically VERY under
advertised (I know people who've worked here 15 years and never
heard about them) so you may have to call around.  However,
a multiple pen recorder may be for sale with a broken channel
(sometimes you can trace the original user & ask how broken
something is), so you can get, say, a 4 pen model with 3 useable 
pens.

In contrast, its very hard to find anything like this that is
(1) new and (2) cheap.
