does the typewriter come with the ribbon already inserted

I bought this typewriter and it was broken, they could not fix it so they gave me back my money and told me to keep it. It is still in the box.

My guess is yes, but there might be some weirdness with the Escort's spool holder. This is a ribbon specifically for MW Escorts: http://www.amazon.com/Montgomery-Escort-Typewriter-Ribbon-Compatible/dp/B00HS7XSZC

Hi, David! The original typewriter spools are 1-3/4" in diameter and 3/4" high, but finding that size is well-nigh impossible. I found some 2" x 3/4" ones and will have to roll the new ribbon back onto the old spools. Does this help?

I was able to fit this on my Remington Model 1! I just took the ribbon itself off the plastic holders it came on and put it directly on the typewriter's ribbon holders. I got inky fingers but it worked well!

Does your typewriter have metal spools on it now? What I found out after ordering this for mine is that in order to change the ribbon you have to unravel the old ribbon from the original spools and put the new ribbon on. The plastic spools the ribbon came with were much to large to fit my typewriter.

There is no ribbon...little ink rollers....I haven't seen ribbons in calculators for many years....take it to Staples....or any stationery store...they will help you.

I have 2 manual typewriters, one is a Smith-Corona and the other is another type. This ribbon fits both. It seems to be a good generic ribbon. I would try it. Be careful to look at the ribbon in the typewriter before replacing! Put it in the same way!

Yes, it have the ribbon cable but don't have the connector, you can use your previous connector, and we couldn't upload picture, thanks.

I do not think so as the Remington Rand Deluxe Model 5 need fabric black ribbons and this is red with black, as I bought them for my Mother who has a Quite-Riter Remington manual typewriter they fit and work for her. I know others have bought this and some said though it did not fit they were able to unraveled the ribbon to thread it onto their own spools for the following typewriters: Remington Quite-Riter Manual; Remington Rand Number 7; Remington 7 Noiseless; 1927 Remington 12; 1931 Remington Portable; Remington 25; Remington 25; and a Smith-Corona.

Yes. I used a daisywheel typewriter, but I have also seen them handwritten neatly.

Not necessarily. But when you contact the seller (who has a sterling reputation) specify what model of what typewriter you have and they will guarantee the correct ribbon.

Yes, it comes with the keyboard ribbon connector. Fantastic. Sturdy. Just like the original casing only without your computer's serial number, so you'll have to use a permanent marker to make sure that's written inside.

You can't change the ribbon in the cartridge. You must purchase a new cartridge. The cartridge itself just slides into place with a little push. Maybe something on your typewriter is bent.

If you are referring to the ribbon from FJA Products, I installed it on my Sharp model CS2182 and it is working okay.

No it is not. The ink is separate from the ribbon. You purchase one and the other. I use this item for the same purposes. It prints out beautifully on the ribbon.
