At my local Sta...Yeah, let me know how you fare. <br /><br />At my local Staples, there were a few options, so I picked them all up to try. I stayed away from the black/white correction ribbon (even though it was the only listed as a typewriter ribbon) due to all the bad things I've heard about the white flaking off and making a mess.<br /><br />One of them was a black/red, but it was on a much smaller spool, for a calculator. I had to cut some plastic pegs off the base and drill a hole in the plastic to fit. It didn't feed correctly (due to the smaller spool diameter), but I figure I could always reuse the ribbon on my existing spools, if need be.<br /><br />But this one worked great. It had some "spokes" where my ribbon feed peg (for lack of a better term) fit and would spin it around. Its a good length, too (the calculator ribbon was more expensive and was shorter).<br /><br />And for $4.79 with no shipping...very hard to beat!

At one point I special ordered some through Office Depot, but last time I tried, they said they wouldn't deliver to this area. Luckily there are still some (more obscure) places to mail-order.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525256592893354856.post-41552885939453785802009-09-06T23:17:11.204-04:002009-09-06T23:17:11.204-04:00Good lookin' out.Good lookin' out.Mike Speeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648532407369443335noreply@blogger.com
