R E M A R K S : How to get a NEW RIBBON for this old machine ???
===================================================================
There are cartridges for MATRIX-Printers on the market with 8 mm
NYLON-Ribbons. Check the cartridge before buying because there are
several available with different lengths. In some cases you can
get 3 spools out of one cartridge! You will get your fingers
dirty when you do the respooling - but the result is great!
And remember: BOTH SIDES HAVE TO BE SPOOLED CLOCKWISE ...
