    Can I Use The Ribbon Mechanism Of An Olympia Sge 50 On A 35?

    Hi folks, the title says it all.
    I have an Olympia SGE 35 that only runs carbon-film ribbons (they're 8mm wide, I think), and would very much like to convert it to regular 1/2 inch fabric ribbons. 
    Would it be possible to 'transplant' the ribbon mechanism of an SGE 50 (or 45) into an SGE 35?

    Surely the best solution would be to find a fabric ribbon SGE35 in broken/scrap condition and simply swop all the ribbon mechanism parts over from that.  That way, you would know that those parts will fit your model.
