   If you're looking for a new ribbon for your printer, here's where I found my latest one.
   Stationers are office products suppliers, and while they don't carry ADAM ribbons any more, if they ever did, they often have sales,and I found offered " Diablo Compatible " ribbons at 3.39, regular 6.69.
   The ribbon is for the Hytype II, which means it won't fit in the ADAM printer as you buy it, the plastic case is wrong. BUT, the ribbon inside is perfect for the ADAM. Open the case, extract the ribbon pancake, strip off about a metre, or a yard, to make the ribbon pancake fit into the ADAM ribbon case, and it will fit instantly over the ribbon supply pin in the ADAM cassette. Threading the ribbon into the cassette is fussy but simple work, and the spring is usually good as it is.  Opening these cassettes should be done carefully, with a sharp, thin blade. It's a little fuss to attach the ribbon on the take-up side, and you may have to wash your hands to get the ink off, but the new ribbon is longer, darker, and sure is cheaper than an ADAM ribbon, if and when you can find them.
