I just replaced the ribbons in my met 3s,
If anyone has any good information on these or other models that house the same kind of tweeder and or parts for these please let me know.
I'm still looking for a good replacement aluminum foil ribbon material,
I made these from .003 in thick aluminum foil, I measured three from the store and this was the best, I used a micrometer.
To make the ridges In the ribbon I used a thousand dollar pipe crimper, kinda like a mangle but has two gears for making stove pipe fit together like one slides in the other, but yea, clamped it to the table and made a few.
I guess where there's a will there's a way, thays the best way I found, and ima tweak it but it's this method till I have new stuff info or advice.
Expertise and knowledge is always welcome any met 3 or metranomes by dick or corresponding info and specs will be greatly appreciated
thanks pplz

Nope, the originals were disintegrated, have been gone for years, so I went with the best guess, looked around and made it the best I could, sounds great tbh, I haven't got any ribbon yet but I wanted to try.
Thanks for the specs my friend, this will deff help on my journey as the numbers I found weren't even as low as that,
The info I had found said they using. 003 to .0005.
But this is great, bow I can make them original, kinda lol

Now your gona have me out measuring everything with the micrometer again, lol I'm still hesitant to rip my capacitors apart... they are good, capacitors are more expensive than foil, if I can find the right stuff, now I have a good number I'll order something if I can.
I might need to find a different crimper, idk if a stove pipe crimper will work for .0007, idk
