Hi Phil & Marilu, I just ordred 2 sets of pads for my 1160 from National Parts Depot. Margaret Jones <MJones@nationalparts.com> is very halpful and pleasant to deal with. I sent the order via email, and she replied within hours that the order was received, gave me an order number and let me know that the pads would take about a week to get to them and that she would then notify me when they were shipped from NPD to me. National Parts Depot's minimum order is $25, so I ordered TWO sets of pads. I'm quoting my order here in case you need quantities, numbers, etc: "8 each Epson ref# 743, Part# 1048802 Porous Pad FL each $0.50 Total $4.00; 4 each Epson ref# 752, Part# 1048800 Porous Pad LG each $3.20 Total $12.80; 4 each Epson ref# 766, Part# 1048801 Porous Pad SM each $2.20 Total $ 8.80." Above comes to $25.60 + with their shipping and tax, the total billed to my CC was $35.83; for me shipped to New York City. Your total may vary, of course depending upon where you are located. Personally, I always try to get a service manual for any equipment before I tear into it, and one is available also through them. FYI, the Epson part # for the Service Manual for the 1160 is "TM-SC860/1160", and if I recall correctly it cost around $21. You might be able to get one cheaper from anothr source, but I have found Margaret Jones at NPD so helpful in responding to my inquiries that I order from them exclusively. Hope this is of help.
