Not relevant for you but relatedly, I just bought silent 700 thermal paper.
Won't be available forever.

This is the same as fax paper but apparently the fax paper rolls hold more
paper and won't fit the roll holder on the silent 700.

I do have some paper tape and telex rolls in the UK. Also wide 11" music
ruled line printer paper.
I will soon receive an ASR-33 and I will need
roll paper, 1" rolled
(preferably oiled) paper tape and a ribbon or two.
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.
