Out of ballance loads can rattle the crap out of your machine so it's a good idea to stop it and re-arrange the load if it starts walking around.

Our old GE machine from '08 does that. One time, it got so far the the main supply hoses literally almost disconnected from the back of the machine! Total distance moved: ~3 feet.

Ok, I don't use it at all, so there's no need for it.
Off-topic: how rare is this unit?

How do you adjust the spring tension? It's loose. VERY loose. 10x looser than the power switch, which is moderately tight.

UPDATE: Problem caused by the color selector thing switching to white. Now what could be causing THAT?

Hi.
I have a late 60s Royal SP-8500 typewriter that has a rather serious issue. Out of nowhere, the carbon tape is no longer rising up when a key is pressed and when a typeface is manually risen to the paper. It is NOT jammed. Can anyone please help? Thank you.
