[GreenKeys] TELETYPE RIBBON FOR MODEL 40 DATA TERMINAL PRINTER

[Paul Kasley]

I have an 80 column tractor feed 40 ROP printer that works fine and a 
spare type carrier should the current belt turn to dust. Just this week 
I dragged out the 40KD and will be working on getting the KD working 
with the ROP.

Any chance someone has any pallets for the 40? I specifically need a 
lowercase "S" pallet to match the font in the belt. I lost one when I 
loaded the belt sometime ago and replaced it with one from a different 
font set such that on alternating lines I get the matching L.C. S and 
the oversize L.C. S.

Meanwhile, I'm off to buy a spare ribbon or two. Thanks for the heads-up.
