[GreenKeys] The 43 ribbon problem

Fri Jun 1 13:51:46 EDT 2012

Hi, all,

I have a couple of 43's sitting around - one with a paper-tape unit. 
Haven't used them in years.  But, I recall on another project for work, I 
found a company that would do ribbon refills.  You send them the cartridge 
and they'd refill the ribbon.  Not even sure if they still are around but it 
might be an option to Google it.
