Appreciate that - it is different but I managed to loosen it slightly and get a little bit of gun oil in there - it seems to be moving more freely now - thanks, Alan

Hi - just learning how to repair - I have a Facit TP1- the cog that the ribbon sits on is very stiff - it's only one side - the other side is fine - any suggestions for freeing it up so that the ribbon turns more easily? Thanks

Hi - thank you so much - a couple of the wires are bent at the back! Have gently straightened them and the strike bars have fallen back into place. The typewriter is rather sluggish (compared to the SM9 I have) but maybe it just needs a good service - thanks again! Alan

Hi - I am new to typewriter maintenance so this may be simple to fix. I got a Hermes Baby in good condition apart from two of the type bars are raised about 1cm - they type okay when you strike the key but they don't sit right back down - any suggestions as to how to fix them so they go right back down? Thanks, Alan
