We R Memory Keepers typewriter ribbons




I forgot to mention that these are not on universal spools—they will not work in many German, British, and other typewriters that use DIN spools.

Sent from my Facit TP2, Royal Model P, Olympia SM3, and Underwood Quiet Tab Ace

Cubic Blue Facit TP2

1967 Facit TP2 P559664











Screws for adjustments. Identical screws are found on the other side.

I forgot to mention in the typecast that the @ symbol surely is one of the very best I've seen on a typewriter. It's simply perfect!

Mystery Solved! The Frozen Facit (Starring Facit 1620)

1970s Facit 1620 P620612














Ribbon Advance: Use it just at the tip

Ribbon Advance: Apply it at the point where the pin meets the disk. It will seep through.

Escapement wheel: Remove the type guide.
Escapement wheel: Apply right in between it and the carriage rail above.

Escapement wheel: Remove the perforated bottom cover.

Escapement wheel: Apply a generous amount inside the hole in the wheel.


I'm really hoping this can become a significant contribution for the good of all Facits, especially because as I've found it might actually happen to you after you've owned one for a while.

Typed rather triumphantly on my new Facit 1620.

*Ignore that I accidentally post-dated this... haha

Waaaay to big to scan in, this letter from Thaddeus.
Typed on my Facit TP2 a while ago but I thought it might be fun for you all.

No way, it's a Facit TP2




Typed on my new Facit TP2
On old Sure-Rite filing wrappers. Icut them up to different sizes, make nice, if rough, typing paper.
