If anyone is looking for metal spools (DIN2103) for Facit portable typewriters, this eBay seller can sell them to you.
(I am not affiliated with the seller).
For about $ 8.00 USD and some $ 4 in shipping, you get two (2) boxes of NOS Facit metal spools with nylon B&R ribbon.
So this means with one purchase of the 2 pack, you get a total of 4 metal spools and 2 - 18 yard long ribbons, nylon in black & red ink.
I order last week and got them yesterday. The metal spools are brand new and Facit factory sealed. The nylon ribbon is "fresh"...not dried out. It leaves a nice crisp imprint, very visible (but not quite as dark as a silk ribbon provides).
Today I placed another order for two more 2-packs...so will have enough metal spools for my Facit/Addo machines that still have plastic spools.
Here is the eBay link :

Update on eBay seller.
Looks like he might have gotten a bit of a rush of orders...so now his offerings at that price if for a 1-pack and not a 2-pack...as they were offering originally.
Still a very good product if you machine is missing metal spools and needs a ribbon, too.

It's also possible he just came to his senses: two sets of spools with ribbon for $8 USD is a super-bargain!

Yes...I would have purchased them even with no ribbon included.
