Yes, the new rubber hammers are available from David Tumey. I think he
wants
about $7 for 10 of them. I have a supply of them here in the UK for anyone
that needs any.

Rob
Thanks Rob.
I sent him an email and asked about the hammer, and a source for paper and
ribbons.
The platen is hard as a rock, so we will need to do something about that
too.

I think paper and ribbons are easy to find in the US. I may have the info,
but it is at home and I am away. You should consider joining the greenkeys
list.

There's some stuff called "Rubber Renue" sold for just that purpose.
Basically, it's a mixture of methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) and
xylol. You brush it on and give it time (hours) to soak in. Repeat if
necessary.

I can attest to its working and the nice minty odor...

I'll add that if the Rubber Renue treatment is ineffective, you can have
your platen rebuilt by JJ Short:

I'll add that I've had several platens and power rolls rebuilt by JJ Short and the
service was top notch. -C
