Ok, in preparation of Carolina PF V.....I'm going to resurrect RT1's Amazings that gave up the ghost at 117db playing a Telarc version of the William Tell Overature goodnesses at Carolina PF III in 2009.
Now, I've had pretty damn good luck so far in the WTB section so, I figure why not give it a try?
So, I'd like to bag a pair of the ribbons (so they are of the same point in life) but could make do with one.
Anyone got a pair, know where there might be a pair? Worst case, there is a NOS ribbon on eBay....but, he's looking for 1100 bucks which seems pretty steep or failing that, just purchase another pair for parts but that's a crapshoot in and of itself...

I dunno if the one is rebuildable. Steve took the assembly apart....so, I don't know if the whole thing is toast or not to be honest.....I plan for the future. - F1Nut

I emailed BobCarverCorp and they pointed me to a guy....and I think he is the guy who sells his wares on eBay.....I'm a little dubious about him though.....I plan for the future. - F1Nut

Michael Marks does a great job with Infinity ribbons and domes, but for Carver ribbons you should get ahold of Ed on CarverSite (he goes by “sea” https://thecarversite.com/profile/247-sea/ ). He has mastered the best method for rebuilding the ribbons.“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

A friend of mine used to replace Carver ribbons, I'll ask him tonight if he is still doing that. He just put copper ribbons in his, I told him he needed to rhodium plate those ribbons.

He doesn't do them anymore, because people don't know how to ship the ribbon unit without damage
