Typewriter Ribbons

Can anyone direct me to a UK supplier of 1/2 inch inked fabric typewriter ribbons as used in most mechanical typewriters? Google keeps returning trasnfer ribbon cartridges for electronic typewriters. WD-40 can't prolong my current ribbon indefinately. It is even harder finding a standard ribbon when most sites require a brand name to search, and I have never heard of Maritso.

Ta.

My local office supplies shop keeps them (I asked, and they actually offered me several alternatives!)
Try an actual office supplies shop,

or if you end up really desperate....

(however mr carlsson is still waiting for me to post plug block number 2.)

right ho
Will have a look about
Thanks!

There's a few high-street shops that still sell them. I last bought one a couple of years ago in Staples.

Also, you might have to transfer the 'new' ribbon onto your original spindles.
