Hi TW Love

​The type slug alignment accuracy will tend to vary with the quality and or the age of the machine. It can be due to worn pivot points of the type bars ( more commonly used letters would wear more) or the slugs were never soldered perfectly at the factory. Many typewriter users see this as being part of the character of the machine, but if it is of a concern to you, the only real answer would be to get the slugs professionally re-soldered by a typewriter repair shop.

​Other forum members may have different or better answers than mine. 'Uwe' and The 'Typewriterman' are wealth's of knowledge when it comes to this sort of question, hopefully they'll come in on this conversation and give some other insights. All the best,

Hello,

thanks very much for your tips. Really usefull to know.
But what I meant - my fault – was the lying position of type slugs. I'm sorry I'm not native english and I don't know how the part of a typewriter is called, where the type slugs lay on.

I'm sending a picture in the next post, where you can see what I mean.

Thanks a lot!
 

Ah! That's something completely different! 

Again, it really helps to know which make and model you're talking about (I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know which machine is in your photo, but it appears to be an ultra-portable of some kind). It's very possible that in your case the linkage at the end of the typebar is bent a little, which is why the typebar can't fully repose. The proper way to fix this issue would be to reshape the offending linkage, which depending on the machine can be very easy or very hard. There is a cruder, less-advisable method, but it would be better to know what we're dealing with first.

I wish I had a dime for everytime I've run into this.

I'm sure this is going to meet with disapproval, but I repaired a single raised slug on my Adler with a hammer and some pliers. I held the back of the slug with the pliers and hammered the front from the top. Amazingly, it worked to move the slug down.
