Wrong table of which ribbon goes with which typewriter

The typewriter ribbon arrived quickly, but for medical reasons I didn't open it until at least two weeks after it was shipped. arrived. Although the seller's chart of which ribbon fits which typewriter model indicates what I ordered would do the job, the spools are too small in circumference to allow for A.) ribbon, the ribbon (left coil) and B.) meanwhile continue to learn typing (right coil). The "universal" holes in the spools don't even reach the pins on the left and right spool slots so you can wind up the tape while typing and hold it while typing. Believe it or not, I found an office machine repair shop 25 miles from my house and diagnosed this problem for $30. So the tape that doesn't work and can't work cost me $38 plus change. Such a deal! It seems to me that the "table" what goes with what is sort of how put together. In order to sell the tape at the advertised price, it does not make economic sense to use multiple spools. There aren't many, but if I need a different band I'll try to find a reputable supplier on the net ie other than Revain. In the meantime, I wind this 1/2" wide ribbon (9/16" ribbons are better for older machines) from the cheap plastic "universal" spools onto the metal spools that came with this typewriter. And guess what: my return window closed on September 13: I'M PRINTING THIS ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2020.
