Re: New to the site- have a question about a Royal UB portable

So you were right the escapement doesnt move at all. I loosened the screw and was able to manually move it.  I notcied that the carriage advanced as I moved it, so it seems to be working ,but doesnt move on its own (when I press the keys).   What is the mechanism that helps initiate the escapement, maybe this is where my problem is??

I've had to remove, disassemble, and clean a number of escapements because they were seized solid from congealed oil and dirt. When you're that deep into a machine you can of course check all the other components in the escapement are to make sure everything moves freely and as it should; if the escapement is that dirty you can bet that everything else in the area will be too.


The pronoun has always been capitalized in the English language for more than 700 years.
