Renegade:
If you have a DMP, you're probably using a ribbon? I used to just rewind the ribbon years ago, and that worked well enough.

I don't want to change the subject here but "rewinding"..............
Surely you didn't rewind those ribbons by hand, manually, twist, twist, twist, turn, turn, turn...huh???

I was 14 or something like that, and had more time and patience than I do now. :)

Cuffy:
As I recall, those old DMPs had open reel ribbons. This battery powered typewriter uses a cartridge, sealed cartridge, but a wide X-Acto razor saw works nicely to split that plastic cartridge. It will reseal with regular PVC cement. Some specs on ribbon width are in order and I might get lucky and get that old typewriter working. Then I could send it to the Museum of Natural History with that last ribbon! :Thmbsup:

Nope.  Just thought that's a funny page on the internet.

Edit: Even more so cause of the older graphic on it...
