When I acquired my PDP-11/34, I also received a
Centronics 503 printer, along
with an entire case of ribbons for said printer. They have a part number of
63002293-5001. It's a black nylon ribbon on two spools. These are NOS. I
haven't been able to identify anything that uses them - and I mean anything,
because I can't find anything on the Web about the Centronics 503, either.
Does anyone have any leads on this? I'd like to find that these ribbons are
worth something to someone, because I'll never use more than a few in my
lifetime but I don't want to just trash them. Thanks -- Ian
It could be a standard spool ribbon type used by printers, old typewriters,
and more importantly for this list - teletypes. What is the diameter of the
spools, and does it look like this:

I would definitely be interested in some extras for my ASR-33.
