[GreenKeys] Source for Teletype ribbons

[Don Robert House]

Our chain of meijer stores carries the small eyelets and the tool to  
install them at cheap prices.
They are located in the sewing section.
The ribbons from NEXT IMAGING are supposed to have the eyelets installe.

In a bind a know will do as you say.

I don't know about the M33, but for the M15 a knot in the ribbon  
works just a s good as an eyelet. (Kind of a hill-billy way of doing  
it, but...  :o)
