I looked a while back, because I also have a KSR43. There was one company that listed
them but, when I ordered them, they informed me they no longer had some component or
another and refunded my money. I'll see if I can find the reference again - maybe
market forces (TWO customers!) would be stronger incentive. :-)

Subject: Teletype Model 43 ribbons (and old ribbons in general...)
Hey --
Stumbled across an old Teletype ksr-43 this weekend and couldn't pass it
up. Seems to be working but the ribbon's (obviously) dried up. Was
considering re-inking it but it's so worn through in places it's about
to fall apart.
Can't find anyplace on the 'net that still stocks them (lots of them
/list/ it, though, which is annoying). Anyone have any leads?
And while I'm on the subject -- anyone have any good leads for old
typewriter ribbons? I have an old L.C. Smith Bros typewriter that's in
need of one...
Thanks as always (and still working on the Otrona Attache...),
Josh
