Very interesting, thx for sharing, & I'm glad that you succeeded.
To remove the 'ribbon' from the typewriter equation, I've switched to a... thermal typewriter. It's obviously not the same type of machine at all but it does the trick and somehow it's still ok to use. Huge bonus: it's almost dead silent, something my spouse appreciate a lot. No idea why 8)
Only issue is that thermal prints fade over time.
Has not yet happened but since I use it for drafting it would not be an issue for me.
