Yup, about five years ago, I gave away mine on the Vintage Computer
forum. It had very little mileage on it, mostly because of the mess.
There are stamp pad inkers that use a very fine mesh that allows the ink
to seep through gradually. I've re-inked ribbons that way with better
success than with the Mac Inker (which I believe is still being
offered--"Computer Friends" I think is the outfit).
Then there's the old WD-40 and plastic bag trick...
