I found a model 43 victim ( thanks Nick England). So first problem, does anybody have one or better yet two new or used ink ribbons floating around they'd part with? Or know where to get one? manual says 430035 p/n. Even just a cartridge with a bad ribbon would work, I'll reverse engineer it.

Im going to call Mr RTTY himself tommarow, but i have an inkling what the answer will be. I also found a Norwegian maritime website that lists them but I'm not sure if it's legit yet.
