I sent him an email and asked about the hammer, and a source for paper and ribbons. The platen is hard as a rock, so we will need to do something about that too.
There's some stuff called "Rubber Renue" sold for just that purpose. Basically, it's a mixture of methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) and xylol. You brush it on and give it time (hours) to soak in. Repeat if necessary.
