Ribbons are not the OP's original problem. There is a delay in

I would guess that it needs a belt. I have my reasons.

I recommend the O.P. join the 'classiccmp' mailing list;
it has a number of TTY and Selectric experts who will
likely help.

Hi Michael
Hate to disagree with you...

I think you meant to address this to ' ;-)

My recommendation was that the O.P. join a mailing list whose members
have considerable experience with Selectrics and Teletypes.

I said nothing about belts. I unfortunately have lost all of my
Selectric manuals and test equipment including a genuine IBM I/O
Selectric Test Set (in a ruggedized transport case).
