[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 43 Ribbon

[Nick Jarmany]

>I seem to remember that someone said the 43 ribbon was 39" in circumference. I measured my ribbons and they are both about 38 1/2" long and they fit well in my printer.

>Anyway, I think I may purchase a new 1/4" ribbon cartridge and pull he ribbon out and do some testing to see I can bond the ends so as to work in my printer.

>Sorry Gab, but as the typewriter shop man said, "No Soap". Mike

Mike,

If you find a generally available ¼” ribbon could you let us know the details? Seems like a lot of people with “currently unusable” Teletypes are after a decent ribbon solution for the ‘43, and what you mention seems to be the best so far, short of locating some genuine ‘43 ribbons, which I certainly have been unable to do.
