Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Porelon 11476 Universal Typewriter Ribbon Replacement - Twin Spool Compatible with Adler, Brother, Olivetti, and Smith Corona - 1 Pack - Black/White by John Fenton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hubs cannot reverse

This was perfect for my The Electric 2 Sears. Note that the manufacturer's compatibility list does not include trailing zeros for Sears part numbers due to the decimal point that Sears has always used. I went with an all black tape partly for durability, but also because the correction tape is messy. The ribbon prints fine with one problem. The grommets that the reverse levers are supposed to meet are pretty flimsy. They can slip through the levers and get caught in the belt guide. Not a deal breaker for the price. I just know that I have to keep an eye on it. If the hub starts to slip, I just push the reversing lever by hand and rewind the spool until the hub is past the lever again.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
