my spools of ribbon are 4 to 5 inch tall, will they fit or do I have to remove them from the spool?

A 4" tall spool will be the tallest you can accommodate if you want to close the lid.

This is what I have that I store my thread in and the pairs fit fine in it. It really depends on what thread you use because some spools will be too tall. I've only had maybe two that wouldn't fit in the regular slots but the case does have 2 extra large sections that they would fit in. Creative Options Thread Organizer

They are 5 1/2 inches long. Work well and look nice.. You could use the pen clip to hook the ribbon on if you want to.

don't try to splice them...if that is your intent to try and figure out the wire gauge size. splicing is hit or miss...usually miss, especially if you are an average do it yourself without proper tools. just figure out the length you need, and order the size you need. even for custom applications, it is easier to order the length than trying to make one. these cables are cheap enough now not to try and bother with the aggravation. amazon makes these in 3ft, 6ft, 9ft, 15ft, and 25ft lengths and they are very inexpensive.

I have my Dad's old Royal Arrow. In it he had spools that were 2" in diameter and the ribbon itself was 1/2" in height. I read elsewhere on Amazon that those are the standard dimensions for many old typewriters.

You might have to remove the ribbon from the new spools and put it on the old ones...the diameter of replacement spools is sometimes larger than original...the ribbon would probably be fine.

not sure if they're available............you may have to make your own (keep the attaching ribbons)

The ribbons are pre cut and are inserted through the two holes in the top of box. So yes, if you want to interchange the ribbon you can; just be mindful that the width of your ribbon needs to be small enough to fit through the pre drilled holes.

It should fit, the description says your spool is 6" approximately, and the reel will fit up to 8" its adjustable for smaller reels too.

I don't know, but I would highly recommend writing to the seller (FJA Products). They were very helpful. Not only could they tell me what ribbon I needed, but they also explained how to install it.

I think it will work. It's a large spool and not a cone. I really like this thread. I have all collections.

I just bought a spool of replacement line in the same diameter and cut it in 5" to 6" lengths. I bought regular line but it seems to break off quite easily. Buy the heavy duty stuff and save yourself frequent changes during one trimming session.

They will fit - my drawer was 4" but unfortunately they do not work, once you clamp them closed they pop open immediately therefore not staying extended.

Just pull straight off the end. There are different ones available but most of the styles will fit.

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 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.

Buy the 3ft. As it happens, the ribbon is actually 6ft on the "3ft ribbon" too but its tied to the wand in the middle to shorten it. You can always untie and make longer. I've done it to several of our ribbons.
