Re: Olivetti 80 Lexikon
My Lexikon is equipped with a normal tabulator. When I use the tab button, the carriage moves one space beyond the tab position. If I set my first tab at 5 and use the tab button, the carriage move to 6. This is not what I am used to. Is this normal? Any thoughts about the matter?

No, it should not do this. If you set a tab. stop at '5', it should stop at '5', not ''6'. The most likely explanation is that the tab. set finger is bent.

Re: Olivetti 80 Lexikon
Thanks. About the tab finger, that was my first thought too. However, it looked normal to me. I will take a second look at it, maybe I missed something.
