[GreenKeys] Model 14 Reperf

[eric]

In addition to the advice everyone else has provided, once you've found
or made a good platen you can adjust the typing impact with an adjuster
below and to the rear of the rangefinder mechanism, photo attached.

I'm new to Greenkeys and don't yet understand how to effectively search past postings.  The reperf itself works fine, except the type hammers are not making legible printing on the tape.  The ribbon is new and freshly reinked (judging  by the amount of ink absorbed by this OMs finger tips).  Current assessment is that the small, round platen has been beaten into near oblivion after decades of use.  So, what have you guys used to replace a worn M14 platen?  It is rather small in diameter and apparently was of a fairly resilient material.  All suggestions are appreciated.
