Seems OK now.  I see how it works.  Thanks.

Any idea why the ribbon just stops once it reaches its end?  There is a kind of rivet at each end of the ribbon.  Do they have a function?  Thanks.

Thanks.  The problem when I bought it was the black/red/white lever was jammed on white.  Maybe that's why it is hardly used.  I reached in to the works with my fingers and got it on black but the lever is still jammed.  As it's working fine now (I won't need red or white) I think I'll let well alone - I can be quite clumsy!

Thanks for the quick reply.  Not as easy as I would have thought.  I thought just removing the bottom 4 screws would allow the black base to come off but it doesn't.  Do the screws under the carriage need to come off too to get the base off?  I may be able to see whats wrong from underneath.

Have just acquired a delightful Silver Reed (12") in amazing condition.  The ribbon colour button is not so healthy though.  I can't seem to figure out how to get the green casing off.  I've removed 2 screws in the top and even 4 screws from underneath.  Any ideas?  Thanks folks!
