[GreenKeys] Ribbons (was: note about Teletype Paper)

[Duncan Brown]

Eric,

Thanks for the info on RibbonsUnlimited.  But when I put "Teletype" in 
the "Keyword" search, I get four different "Teletype Black Printer 
Ribbons" ranging in price from $4.95 to 11.95 with no description about 
what is different between them. From the pictures, #1930TEL looks like 
it would work on M14, 15, 28.  Is this the model you ordered?

At the AWA Museum, we have been using an Okidata ribbon from Nextimage: 
http://www.neximaging.com/Product/5877/Compatible-Okidata-52100701-Printer-Ribbons-6PK.html. 
They are only $2.49 each in a six-pack. If you are only buying one 
ribbon, the RU ribbon would be cheaper, but since we have a lot of 
machines, I buy the six-pack and it comes out to only $3.83 each, 
including shipping.  Don't remember if these include the eyelets in the 
end. but if not, you can always just tie a knot in each end.

73 & Have fun,

Duncan
