Hi everyone,

I am having some trouble with my Olympia Deluxe (I think it's an SM3) and I hoped you could help me out. 

I made the mistake of leaving the typewriter where my two-year-old could reach it. Several times, I caught her pulling the ribbon out of the thing that holds the ribbon and lifts it up when you strike a key (is that the "vibrator"?). When I tried using the machine again, it turned out that her repeated meddling had not only gotten her fingers red and black, but had made it so that whenever I press SHIFT and strike a key, and then let go of SHIFT, when the mechanism returns to its normal position the ribbon gets all bunched up. The next few keystrokes leave a few red letters before it corrects itself.

Obviously, this is not a fatal problem; if I need to, I can just get an all-black ribbon, and still use the thing. But if I can fix it on my own without having to pay to take it in (and probably pay more than the machine initially cost me), I would rather do that. If anyone has an idea for how to go about that, I would appreciate it.
