But can you get ribbon cartridges?
Ribbons for most common dot-matrix printers are still made and are readily available. I hear lots of people saying they're not available anymore, probably only based on assumptions, but I've purchased ribbons for a lot of impact printers over the past few years. I even found DEC LA34 ribbons a few weeks ago and am about to order a few. In fact this applies to a great many things that people assume are somehow unavailable because they've not personally purchased them for many years. A good example is MMJ connectors. I bought 100 new MMJ connectors from a cabling supplier (not a surplus dealer!) a few weeks ago. They actually showed up, and they're actually the right thing. It pleases me to no end that we can actually still get a lot of the supplies we need to keep our stuff running. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
