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.

Success and failure / Loose ends

I don't think I ever showed here on my blog the before and after pictures for my Erika 5 Tab. Not all the blotchy weird stuff on the paint came off with cleaning, it took the rubbing of oil into the paint to bring it back looking great. I'm not sure why oil works so well on washed-out looking black paint, but it does.

*Not that the cheap nylon ribbons I buy work with 95% of my typewriters

Reading over this again, I realise how awful my grammar is. In the second paragraph, the sentences are too monotonous. In the third, I totally change ideas in the middle of a sentence. I'm going to work on preserving continuity.
