Is there a ribbon that will fit a skyriter machine?

Yes, eBay currently has some in stock. The link is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-PK-Saver-For-Less-Smith-Corona-Skywriter-Black-Typewriter-Ribbon-Skyriter-/400530350274. They are listed at $14.99. If you search around on the internet, it is surprising how easily you can find rare office supplies. I wish you good findings on your search!

The ribbon is 1/2 of an inch wide. That is standard size for universal calculator ribbons.

the trouble is not the ribbon but with the size of the spool. I read on other posts that the solution was to un-spool the new one and put it onto the current spool. Took about 5 minutes to replace it on the current spool and it works just fine. Mine is a Corsair Deluxe as well.

I used finishing line so you couldn't see it but any pretty ribbon would work to :)

No, it does not use an ink ribbon mounted on 2 spools like that used in old manual typewriters and adding machines. It uses a modern mini-cartridge unit that mounts on the print head. See: Nu-Kote NR42

it seems to be a standard size typewriter ribbon. I have used these with several vintage typewriters - neither was a Smith-Corona - and they seem to work perfectly.

Yes, watch out for the ribbon connectors so you don't rip one. I recommend watching a youtube video on it first.

There is no "Ribbon" in this machine. The color is in the card stock you use so if you want black letters you will have to find blank magnetic cards have a black interior instead of the white. The only other option would be to manually color the raised letters after embossing but I don't think that would be practical or look as good. I'm not sure where you could get the black card stock but I'm sure if you Google it you will find some.

I do not know. What I did for my Brothers typewriter, I unwound my old ribbon, and wound on the new ribbor. I have a half blac, half red ribbon. I works great. I hope this will help. RC.

Yes it will, that's the exact same typewriter I have. I bought this ribbon for it months ago and it does fit perfectly.

hi pam, I bought 2 different ribbons for 2 different typewriters..one is for a world war 1 journalists Corona type writer and they are 1 3/8 or 35 mm across, the other ones are for my moms portable smith corona typewriter and they are 2 inches across. both fit the machines fine. and the company that sells them are really nice and have a 1-800 number to call for help. good luck ~karen

Since the people selling ribbons for a Royal Apollo 10 electric portable SP-8000 seem to universally recommend a Nu-Kote B66 Black Nylon Typewriter Ribbon and SCM is conspicuously absent in the B66 compatibility charts, I suggest you don't buy a GRC T2-77B.

The ribbon will fit, just depend on the size of the spool. My first thought is that it should work. Good luck.

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?

There is no ribbon - you have to purchase a new ink roller. They are very affordable - I purchase a two-pack.
