Get a single colour black one. The Model 2 doesn't have a two colour facility.<br /><br />If you visit ebay Australia, search typewriter ribbon and take your pick.<br /><br />Note: the automatic ribbon reverse only works if there's a knot, staple or eyelet about 8 inches from each end of the ribbon.<br /><br />Have fun!Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906642113469252066.post-38145585894046660772012-06-02T01:55:17.326+01:002012-06-02T01:55:17.326+01:00I've just found this very same machine and bou...I've just found this very same machine and bought it this week here in Sydney Australia.
