Credit  for this goes to Ralph Irish, I just

expanded on his idea.

I started with full plastic ribbon spool.

I pried the tabs up with a "greenie." It

was tricky getting under the tabs, but

once one is started it is easy to pry it

straight up.

Then I lifted the top off the spool.

Now it was a simple matter to re-ink

with a one milliliter syringe. The

ribbon soaked up the ink as fast as

I could add it.In fact I had to be really

fast to get the photo of the drop of ink

on the ribbon.

Maybe in week I will  put the top back

on (without bending the tabs down,) run

it through a Teletype, then run a dry

Ribbon onto my modified spool and

start my re-inking over.

I hope this helps someone.
