Source for typewriter ribbons?

[Slash McCoy]

My niece has a Royal Aristocrat typewriter. I guess it is the newest retro fad. But the ribbon is getting old and dry. Anybody know any good sources?

I used to work at OfficeMax and I can tell you they had at least 8 feet of typewriter and old printer ribbons.

Office Depot likely does too.

I haven't seen those in the shops for years!

eBay would be your best bet I think.

Probably online will be your best bet.

The typewriter ribbons which I have seen at box stores are generic ones which are only passable. I have a 1941 Underwood manual typewriter and I get my ribbons from Mr. Typewriter:

I've bought universal ribbons from China off ebay. They seem to do the job well enough.
