[GreenKeys] Re: Teletype supplies

[Don Robert House]

Hello Web,

Sounds like a fun project.  You can get roll paper from Western 
Numeric Control or from American Science and surplus.  You can go 
directly to the pages by clicking on the links at the bottom of our 
home page under  "Teletypewriter Supplies"  at http://www.nadcomm.org

I can send you some ribbons at $3.00 each plus postage.  They are new 
old stock but you will have to unroll them and spray them with WD-40 
to restore life to the ink.  These are circa 1986.  That is if your 
machine uses standard spool ribbons.  If it uses cartridges I have 
not yet found a source for them.

You might want to subscribe to GREENKEYS.  It is a distribution list 
(reflector) for everyone with an interest in Teletype.  You can

Regards,
Don
