Re: Royal Futura 800 Carriage Problems
FIXED IT! :D
The tab set arm that sets the tab teeth, was UNDERNEATH the entire tab teeth bar. It was casuing the entire carriage to grind. I had to take off the back cover to bend it back. I wonder how it got like that in the first place.
Back from a long break.
Starting fresh with my favorite typer. A Royal Futura!

Re: Royal Futura 800 Carriage Problems
Glad you figured it out. For my problem with it grinding on the tab rack I used a small rat-tail file and enlarged (elongated) the mounting hole on one of the tab rack mounting brackets. I couldn't see any other way of getting about 1/16th inch of extra clearance. And it worked for me.
Bangin' around, this dirty old town, typin' for nickels and dimes...
