Bought some Teletype ribbons on ebay. Manufactured by "Type Rite
Ribbon Mfg", Brooklyn, NY, in 1978.
They're low quality ribbons. They were lousy when new, and time
has not improved them. The ones that haven't dried out keep flaking
off bits of dried ink. The eyelets for the ribbon reverse aren't
centered in the ribbon. The hooks at the ends are smashed flat.
They're thin nylon.
Back to buying new Nukote B76 ribbons at $10-$15 each.
