I see. My bell rings. I recall long ago a piece breaking off/coming apart on it and i don't recall if the piece was put back in or lost or possibly shifted and twisted.

I fixed it by bending the bell frame lever and the keylock . Now it stops at the margin pointer locking the keys and then i press the release button and i can type 4 more characters then it locks. Then i press the release button again and i can type 1 more character. However it doesn't lock the keys again (the carriage doesn't move but i can keep typing over the last character), is it supposed to?

Damn, I was hoping it was working as intended lol
