Michael Katzmann has ribbon cartridges on the way from the German eBay source and will let us know if they are the correct ones. They had made it from Germany to NYC at last report.
John Toebes has completed a 3D model of the ribbon cassette and his test print looks really nice. I will install and test his final version and let everyone know. I’ll also evaluate new ribbon sources.
Finally, don’t forget to adjust the print head position lever. Mine came with the head fully retracted and I thought “dry ribbon” until I realized what was happening. Now it is very happily printing.
I keep adding observations and hints at
Cheers
