Ribbons
​Ribbons for very early Class 1,2, and 6 machines.

These ribbons are in very limited supply. The ribbons came in wide cloth, usually black, but some with black and red in specific columns of the ribbon. This allowed specific columns of printing to be highlighted in red ink. The width of the ribbons varied based on the model and number of columns. This is a list of the ribbons available from Burroughs in 1974. Unfortunately, only the ribbons marked with * are available for sale currently:
