[GreenKeys] Model 43 replacement ribbon ?

[Chuck Rehor]

Hello all you GreenKeyers,

This is my first post since discovering this fantastic group a few weeks
ago (thanks to mr_rtty for telling me about this group)!!!

I too need ribbons for my two Teletype Model 43’s that I’m trying to get
working for myself and my small telecom museum that I am the curator of
here at Nokia (formerly Lucent Technologies/Alcatel-Lucent/AT&T/Bell
Labs/Western Electric/Teletype).

I’ve just about exhausted every possible avenue of getting ribbons. I have
one machine just about working but can’t see what it is trying to print.
The ribbon has holes due to the previous owner, and I shattered the
petrified reinking wheel just by touching it and trying to measure it.

I contacted many suppliers of dot-matrix cartridges hoping to find someone
that has a 1/4” (6mm) x 39” (1000mm) ribbon so I can replace it but haven’t
had any luck.

Michael Enkelis, I sure would like to buy a few of those cartridges that
you printed so that I have a spare for each. I thought about learning how
to create a 3D copy but that was farther down on my list... finding a
replacement ribbon and reinking wheel is first.

So does anyone have a source of replacement ribbon and reinking wheel, or
even a whole new cartridge???

THANKS for such a great network of experts on this forum keeping Teletypes
alive!!!
