Replied to Catherine Hennessey’s Typewriter is Back by Peter RukavinaPeter Rukavina (ruk.ca)
My friend (and prototypical blogger) Catherine gave me her Olympia Monica electric typewriter many years ago. After a flurry of typing initially, it sat fallow for a time. When I returned to use it a few years ago, it suddenly stopped working, due, I found later, a slipped drive belt.
Congratulations on getting this back to life. I’m a big fan of typing on index cards myself.

If you need inexpensive, US-made typewriter ribbon, try Baco Ribbon or Fine Line which can be had for pennies on the dollar (and it’s usually where most shops or re-sellers of ribbon are sourcing theirs). https://boffosocko.com/research/typewriter-collection/#Typewriter%20Ribbon

Most know about the blogosphere, but did you know there is also a small, but growing, typosphere?!?
