I had a MacInker, and like Chuck said, it would be quite easy to build a workalike. I recall that most of the seperate pieces that comprised the unit was not the ink delivery component nor the motor drive but the number of plastic brackets to hold whatever ribbon or cartridge you had.
The ink delivery system was, as I can best describe after 30 years, a plastic cylinder about 12mm dia by 30 high. One end sealed off and the open end upwards. A single tiny hole, perhaps 0.1mm to 0.2mm dia was drilled through in the middle of the length of the cylinder (not through both sides). On the cylinder outside were two rubber washers that could be slid up and down, these positioned the ribon so that the middle of it passed directly over the hole. The ink was drawn out by capillary action.
The motor was fixed under the plastic base, and had a spigot with I think a flat blade like a screwdriver. There were probably slip-on extension drives for various cartridges I think. The motor probably did just a few rpm, it may have taken 5 minutes or less for the ribbon to be inked. What invariably did happen was, ink ended up everywhere. They are really messy things.
It would not be difficult to make one, perhaps using a motor from Lego Technic or a scrap item. For the ink tube, a plastic permanent-marker pen barrel drilled with a sharpened needle (or pin, probably smaller and better) and two bits of garden hose or O-rings for the guides would do. A spigot for the source reel and some plastic gear or whatnot for the motor takeup spool. The base could be a piece of 10mm plywood say 25 or 30cm long x 15 or 20cm wide, with some wood blocks underneath for legs and to give the motor some clearance.
