Or here:

But don't throw away your old reels. I have found that older typewriters have thicker posts for the ribbon to go onto and you may have to thread the new ribbon onto the old reel.

Re: Typewriter Ribbon
Thanks for that! Yes, I was going to keep the reels as they are the original ones. I have found out that Rymans Stationary here in the UK sells 1/2 inch typewriter ribbon. There is a store in town so I shall pay a visit tommorow first thing.
Thanks again, Paul.

Re: Typewriter Ribbon
Please can someone tell me what a 1/2 Inch Typewriter Ribbon is? Danke
Re: Typewriter Ribbon
It's a cloth ribbon suspended between two reels impregnated with ink that sits just in front of the paper on a typewriter. When the typewriter key hits it, it transfers through the ribbon the desired or chosen letter to the page. It measures 1/2 inch across which is about 12mm I think..... hope that helps!

Re: Typewriter Ribbon
Typewriter Ribbon in place and working a dream on my Continental Portable with German Keys but sadly without the SS Key.
The Groma is the King of Typewriters and a beautiful machine. I don't know of anybody who repairs or could service our Alte Schreibmaschinen but it would be good to find somebody!

Re: Typewriter Ribbon
You could always try an old fashioned clock repairer. When I took a clockwork cine camera in to see if they could repair it their attitude was 'if it was made by a person then I can repair it' irrespective of what it was.
