 I had the most trouble with getting the ribbon re inked, but solved that
problem and everything is working fine.

 

 Thanks

In addition to two 33ASR's connected to my PDP-8/A and PDP-11/23+, I also
have a 43KSR and all my (unused) ribbons are dried out. I would be very
interested in your re-inking technique.

(I tried drilling a 1/8" hole above the ink roller and spraying in some
WD-40. After letting it soak for a while, the ribbon was usable but still
light).

thanks

Charles
