Hello to all,
I have a Commodore 64, with a 1626 printer. When I bought it, I bought
an extra ribbon, which I am now using. I would like to get another ribbon,
but I can't seem to find one. I was told that places like Children's Palace
or Toys (how do you make a backward 'R' on this thing) Us may have them, but
didn't have any luck there, either. I can find them in catalogs, but they
usually either require a minimum order, or a shipping and handling charge
that is higher than the cost of the ribbon. Does anyone know where I can
find one in the Cincinnati, OH area, or know of a catalog which would allow
me to purchase 1 or 2 ribbons with a reasonable charge? I'd appreciate
any leads anyone can give me. Please respond through mail, as I don't
read this group regularly.
Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

I would like to get another ribbon... If you have a Commodore **1526** (a.k.a. MPS802), an excellent source is Ribbonland P.O. Box 506 Exton, PA 19341 1-800-221-4892 Their part number is RFSP8; prices are $5.50 each, $5.00 (6-11), $4.62 (12+). They charge $4.00 for shipping and handling. Credit cards are accepted, but AmEx is surcharged. You might call for a catalog, as they have lots of other goodies for sale. They also have different color ribbons for the 1526. I have no connection with Ribbonland other than they are located 5 minutes from my home and are quite popular at the various computer fairs in the Philly area. Hope this helps.
