I think, but am not sure, that the correct spools are type DIN 2103 (similar to Underwood spools but with a larger central hole). Or you can wind a new ribbon onto existing spools. The width is the standard 0.5 inch / 13mm.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-45838494818356159872018-04-15T03:42:54.169-04:002018-04-15T03:42:54.169-04:00Please can you tell me where I caneed buy replacem...Please can you tell me where I caneed buy replacement ribbon for my Lady Gossen Tippa serial number 132155Lisa Nadenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378142909891868251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-9800097124257528202013-06-03T10:20:11.064-04:002013-06-03T10:20:11.064-04:00Nice work, Richard.

I asked a prolific eBay typewriter seller from Berlin to put a bid in for me (and to re-ship it to me in the US).<br /><br />P.S. With respect to the Tippa available now on eBay Germany: What we call the "paper shelf" or "paper rest" or "paper table" (that is, the flat metal piece behind the platen and used as a "shelf" for erasing mistakes) is shown as having come off and in need of being re-affixed onto the Tippa.
