Western Electric Calculagraph #33 KS-7769-L

[Russ Kirk]

My neighbor was retired from Pacific Telephone and last night she brought me this gift. It is a Western Electric Calculagraph #33 KS-7769-L.  Does anyone have a extra sample of the tickets that were stamped?

Even a scan of a ticket would be helpful.

Also,  does anyone know where I can get a replacement ribbon?

Does it use a typewriter ribbon?

From what I have been able to find out it uses a ribbon 1 3/8" x 6'.  I found a post on another forum 14 years ago that said brasscashregister.net has some.  I sent them an email but have not heard back from them.  This site may not pan out...

I won one of these on Ebay and just hooked it up.... the clock works.... does anyone know where one can get a new ribbon for these? is the manufacturer still in business? the clock keeps real good time but I'd like to get the stamper to work.... all I need is the ribbon!  Also, it works great on the power from the 1A1 system I have... Even though the P/S says its 18 volts AC, it has enough power to run these units. I was able to D/L the manual for this unit and it did come with its own power supply.

I have a model 30 calculagraph which is the big round face keywind model. I was able to write the Calculagraph Co in New Jersey and based on my unit's serial number they were able to tell me who they originally sold it to. But that was back in the 1980s. Recently I did a Google search and they are still in existence but under a different name (which I don't remember right now). A little detective work on Google will find them for you.

I searched with no luck.  I also need one.

The company is still in business, now known as Control Products, Inc.  Here is info with the old name:
