Oliver No. 5 Ribbon Covers
Hi,
I have an Oliver No. 5 that is complete except for the ribbon covers. Would really like to purchase a set of covers correct for the No. 5 if possible. Please let me know if you have such an item and would like to sell or trade. Thanks!

Re: Oliver No. 5 Ribbon Covers
If you check eBay (or do a Google search) there's a guy who sells a number of parts for those Oliver models, and he might have what you need. I think he's in England.

Re: Oliver No. 5 Ribbon Covers
I have purchased the reproduction ribbon covers. While they are not bad, I am not satisfied with them (If I can find originals).
a) Color slightly off
b) no slots as the originals have

Out of curiousity, what are the repro covers made of?

Metal. I am not trying to degrade them. I think that the quality is quite good. Just that they do not have the tear shaped holes in the top, that the originals have.....
This is the reason I am still looking for an original pair to buy.....
