Hi everyone! I'm new to this sub, and recently bought this Underwood Noiseless typewriter at a garage sale. After lightly cleaning it playing around with it, I have discovered that all of the keys work and none of them stick, but the ink ribbon has dried out. I want to start using this typewriter, but I am unsure where to buy a new ink ribbon. I was looking at this (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002BTPNSW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3CMAE01M1078O&psc=1) but I am not sure if it would work with my typewriter. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of ink ribbon I should get (I'd prefer Amazon or eBay listings please)? Also, any history information about the model would be appreciated! TIA!

These spools should work OK. Your current setup does not have any spools---the ribbon is simply wound around the hub without the flanges which would form a complete spool. What they illustrate as the "Original" is what you have now. The replacement has the flanges but the important feature is the large hole in the center, which will allow the spools to fit over your tw's large spindles. Most "universal" ribbon spools will not have a large opening. (When they do, it is filled with a removable spacer so it can fit more tws.)
