I will soon receive an ASR-33 and I will need roll paper, 1" rolled

Please DM me if you have any to spare.
Paper is easy enough - its a standard telex roll and they're still made
and sold. We used to have it in two grades in England - high quality
white for special occasions (use a new ribbon and clean the head first
and it almost looks good), and bog roll. If you know, you know ;-) Just
make sure you don't order the thermal version by mistake.
Telex ribbons are still made and sold in the usual places too. You can
fit a standard typewrite ribbon but of course they're normally
black/red. Pretty effect but probably not what you're after.
Paper tape is more of a problem but GNT still makes 1" (or did last time
I bought some). You don't say where you are (no one ever does on this
list) but they're in England. It's still used for CNC machines, amongst
other things. Getting the five-hole is more of a problem IME.
