Hopefully you have an old ribbon. If so you can buy this one and swap out the ribbon between the two. Mind you this is for the 74B/C. The 74A models are almost always bad from the rubber in the print wheel turning to goo.Here is the link for the cartridge you can pull the ribbon from.Nu-kote Model BM160 Black Nylon Printer Ribbon

That would be a grail TTY to have especially for field fun. Last year I took my extra Model 32 to field day and got it on the air.

Really the Navy stuff is probably a bulk of it, since they used so much and in designated "places" (ships) that may still be preserved. I didn't expect to find much on Army or Airforce comms type places as they'd all be remodeled or redone when obsolete, however I did find this page that seems to have a couple surviving portable rigs: https://rattrig.comThen I also came across this vid showing some 28s banging away at the Airforce:And of course there's other small museums and such around like Duncan's that has a bunch of this stuff spanning all depts as well.Does anyone else know of any "surviving" installations - meaning - places where TTYs were used originally, and are still there? I guess KPH probably counts (https://www.radiomarine.org/radio-archaeology/kph-kleinschmidt)Jeff KC3GJX
