[GreenKeys] TTY ribbons.

[Don Robert House]

Larry,
I have had similar experience with the 80s vintage ribbons.  I think  
all of the cotton ribbons are gone,  if any are still around, they  
work great with reinkers.  As a second choice Rayon retains the ink  
better than Nylon.

When i picked up all those model 28's a couple years back the fellow  
gave me two boxes of ribbons.  Course they all had 84 dates on them  
but the packages inside were intact.  One i opened was pretty dried  
out but i sprayed it with WD-40 and it printed like gangbusters for  
quite a while.

I will never ever in my remaining lifetime use 24 of these things so  
if some of you guys want some, cause they have the metal reels, let  
me know and i'll do a couple per request.

I had a couple of the Big Model 40 printer ribbons on spools.  It was  
a pain to do it but i just unwound the amount it took to fill up a  
smaller spool from the big one.  Put a couple of those eyelet's in  
and had a new ribbon to use.  Think there is enough left on the big  
spool for a couple more little ones and they are a lot fresher.
