There has to be a way to make a ribbon respooler out of that.

The color is not important but it must be in good condition.
Thanks,

I just realized that I never posted pictures of my SG1 (I now have 5). I'm looking at Imgur and Flickr for hosting. Does anyone have any experience with either of those for placing images on other websites?
Thanks,
Steve

I know that this reply is very late but you might be able to get a razor replater to replate it for you. They are used to doing small batches/pieces. The cost might be prohibitive. I have not had a razor replated by this gentleman but I think he has a good reputation in the vintage razor world.

Any update on the progress for this? I'd like to see some pictures if you have them. I have an old Remington 11 desktop that will need a complete teardown. There is a Facebook group for typewriter parts.

I'm wondering about the little crevices though.

Free is good. Any decent typewriter is worth keeping.

What is the best way to clean one of these cases?

I have purchased several (probably 20) typewriters from ShopGoodwill.com. I have always sent them packing instructions right after I paid. I also sent a picture of the actual typewriter that I bought with areas circled that need extra packing (type basket, platen knobs, etc...). I have had one that came with the bottom and top of the case completely destroyed (Remington Streamliner) which they refunded my complete purchase price on including shipping. I just recently found a case for it and am happy to report that it will be back in service. The bottom case on these is integral to the typewriter. Another one had a broken platen knob which they gave me an agreed upon partial refund for. In my experience they do a very good job overall packing typewriters. Their shipping costs are usually way lower than ebay (not all locations so factor that in). Do your research and ask questions. They will answer you. I have also asks for more/detailed pictures on several of the typewriters and they have complied. I like dealing with them better than shopping on ebay. It seems like ebay sellers have a listed shipping price that is fairly high and then they poor boy it on the actual shipping to try and make more money off of the sale. After my last damaged typewriter on ebay I'm pretty much done. YMMV
