[GreenKeys] Replacement ribbons for your old spools

[Derek Cohn/WB0TUA]

Hi Everyone,

I had bought some ribbons recently and the spools would not work on the teletypes. 

There is a local company here that still seems to sell typewriter ribbons and thought I would see if they could help.  I called Baco Ribbon and explained my problem.    The woman asked me if I had my old spools that did work and that she could just put a new ribbon on my old spools if I wanted.  That was exactly what I wanted.

She replaced two of the ribbons on the spools and I have two teletypes printing beautifully right now.  I think the price was in the neighborhood of $5.00 per spool (my dad picked them up for me so I don't know the exact cost).

Here is the contact info for them 

Baco Ribbon & Supply Co.
2230 Mason Lane
Ballwin, MO 63021
314-835- 9300

Maybe this information could be useful to the group.

Thanks,
