Typewriter Ribbon for IBM Wheelwriter typewriters

This works very well in my 35-year-old IBM Wheelwriter.

I've purchased this for my '92 year old grandfather's typewriter. He is a minister and still types of sermons on a typewriter. I installed this for him and it works perfectly.

I have an IBM typewriter and use it regularly. I am happy Amazon sells parts for this as I know there is not much demand for them and happy I can find what I need at Amazon.

It works fine except for one small thing. The lift-off tape does not seem to remove as much of the letters when I have to re-do a word.It leaves a significant amount of the previous word typed.

This was for the office. I 'm glad you had it as no one else had it

My elderly mother still uses an IBM typewriter for notes and envelopes, and the ribbons have been difficult to locate. Fortunately, I found these. The were perfect, inexpensive, and shipping was free through Prime. Perfect! My mother is ecstatic!

I am not sure if this is the Mylar ribbon I purchased or the other one I purchased. They both had their good points and the deficient points. The Mylar gave a darker print but the print can be lifted from the paper with a piece of Scotch tape. The other ribbon sticks to the paper better but it is not as dark nor as sharply defined a print.

Glad I checked on Amazon. I bought a used typewriter for $5, and it needed a ribbon. I didn’t need a typewriter often, but when I do, now I have one!
