[GreenKeys] Re-inking ribbond

[Tom Hunter]

Credit  for this goes to Ralph Irish, I just
expanded on his idea.

I started with full plastic ribbon spool.

I pried the tabs up with a "greenie." It
was tricky getting under the tabs, but
once one is started it is easy to pry it
straight up.

Then I lifted the top off the spool.

Now it was a simple matter to re-ink
with a one milliliter syringe. The
ribbon soaked up the ink as fast as
I could add it.In fact I had to be really
fast to get the photo of the drop of ink
on the ribbon.

Maybe in week I will  put the top back
on (without bending the tabs down,) run
it through a Teletype, then run a dry
Ribbon onto my modified spool and
start my re-inking over.

I hope this helps someone.
