A Royal Delight



Oops -  the grommets are 3/16", not the 3/8" mentioned in the typecast.
I bought the kit (pliers and grommets) through Amazon (US). It should show up if you do a search for 3/16 grommet pliers. Got the set made by ProTool - the pliers include a punch to make the hole the grommet is inserted into.

  3. Suggest you join Typewriters Enormous of America (TEA). At least typewriters are easier to store than bikes.

  4. Very nice machine, and well worth $50. You know you've got the bug when you buy the ribbon grommet tool - that's the mark of someone who's got it bad :D
