[GreenKeys] Paper and ink-ribbon supplies

Gabriel, 
  
For ribbons, try the following:  Ribbons Unlimited, a mom and pop shop in Maryland.  www.ribbonsunlimited.com   Nice people. 
  
Be sure and ask for black and two spools and reversing grommets.  They run about $10 each but are worth the price.  I think the spools will fit on both your 33 and 35.  You can use the original metal spools if you want to rewind the ribbons.  If you do that just get them with one spool. 
  
A ribbon re-winder can be made with two finish nails in a small board about 3-5 inches apart and use a pencil or the like to spin the spools.  
  
Ebay and Amazon are good for paper for the 33.  Ask the other guys in the UK where they get theirs.  Shipping is usually costly and about the same as the purchase price.

I have an ASR-33 and 35-KSR, both running on the 
original stock of paper and ribbons that they 
were sold to me with. I should get some spares in. 

For the ribbons, does anyone know exactly what 
part numbers I should search for on Ebay or 
Amazon to get exactly the right kind for each 
machine? I'm in England but often use the US 
Amazon and Ebay sites if they have stuff my 
local ones don't. 

For the paper, can anyone recommend suppliers? 
For the KSR-35 I can find tractor-feed continuous 
stationery on the English Amazon site but it seems 
expensive ($90 for 2000 sheets, or is that about 
right?). For the ASR-33 I don't even know what to 
order. 

Sorry if this has come up before -- hopefully 
everyone hearing of the best deals around will 
be useful to others beyond myself.
