I now have both margin stops pushed all the way to the ends of each side. From the left it stops/jams after 7 characters, every time. And on the right side it also stops/jams at the exact same spot which is about 2in from the edge of the paper.

Thanks again! I tried the margin release key but it didn't work. 

Hi,
I just got my first Remington Rand Streamline (serial# B103241) from about 1940. It was in pretty good shape and I've given it a very thorough cleaning. Everything seems to work well, except that at least once on every line I type (no matter which key or where on the line), a key jams and only raises about halfway up. If I hit the Shift key, it fixes it immediately and I can continue typing. I'm not familiar enough with these machine to be able to fix this properly. I've posted a video demo here so you can get better idea of what the problem is. [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]In this video it happens once in the beginning of the line and then again towards the end. [/color]Big thank to anyone with an idea on how to fix this. 



 

Hi! I'm new to antique typewriters but I just bought a late model Remington Noiseless Portable (serial #N93924) which seems quite clean. The trouble I'm having is when I type, the carriage usually doesn't move to the next space (sometimes it does and it doesn't matter which key - it seems totally random). Yet it moves much more reliably when using the shift lock (all caps). The space bar works fine as does the backspace. I did a first wave of cleaning without taking anything a part and the draw band broke. I installed a new draw band (thanks to a youtube vid from Phoenix Typewriters!), but the typing/carriage non-movement persists. I was hoping someone here might have an idea of what is wrong. Thanks so much!
