Maintenance & Repairs » 1959 Remington Travel-Riter ribbon guides not moving » 25-6-2020 19:59:12

Thanks I checked all those, and you know what I figured it out was? I had put on a plastic replacement ribbon spool and it just slid on the metal ones that are already there. Even though the replacement spool said it would work, I really just needed to thread the ribbon on the original spools. Fixed. Now I have to figure out why it jumps between single and double space, and my platen is so hard it doesn't hold the paper. But it's fun to tackle the problems. Thanks for the help!

The ribbon guide moves up to type but only partially down, so the ribbon doesn't advance and you can't see what you just typed. It almost feels like I lost a spring that would do that but I don't see one missing? Any ideas would greatly be appreciated!

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, when typing on single space, after about 5 lines I return the carriage for the next line and all of a sudden it has gone from single space to double.

I can't figure out how to adjust my Lettera 22. I am typing single space then all of a sudden it jumps to double space. I have moved the plate on the space adjuster thinking that would help but it still does it. Any ideas?
