Hello!

I have just inheritet my great grandfathers typewriter. It is a beautiful typewriter and I am looking forward to actually using it, and not just store it on a shelf.

The problem is that all the letter-keys are locked. All the other keys (space, tab, shift etc.) seems to work just fine. The carriage seems to work as well too.

None of the letter bars seem to be stucked to eachother either. It feels like there is a mechanic lock somewhere. I have seached all over, from the underside too, but no luck in finding the lock.

After some research I think it is a Monarch Remington 1963 portable.

The serialnumber is TRM 634772

I would be very grateful if somebody could help me getting this nostalgic typewriter to work again!
