Thank you ztyper.  I wasn't sure if the keys needed oiled.  I was told to use sewing machine oil.  I would say I've gone over the key hammers and their slots with Denatured Alcohol about ten times.  I put the ribbon in the way I saw it done in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMWjkD3taPk.  The problem I'm having when I type is that the bracket that holds the ink ribbon along with the typewriter hammers is staying in the same place for a few seconds and then slowly sinks down.  This makes typing productivity very slow.  I'm honestly not sure what to do.    When the key hammers hit the paper, sometimes they leave a good impression on the paper but then other times the key hammers hit the paper and you can barely see the letter on the paper.  Here's a link with pictures of how I put the ink ribbon in if that helps https://plus.google.com/111582950219234539031/posts/j2RJxCdFegm

DO NOT OIL the segment!!! First off, your ribbon isn't correctly installed. And if it's binding it will prevent the keys from working properly. You should be cleaning the segment not the segment cover plate. I use Q-Tip swabs soaked in Varson (mineral spirits) to work the liquid into the segment slots. And you should also clean the typebar linkages and if you turn the machine over, you'll see that there's another segmented bar that the keybars move through, it needs to be cleaned as well.

What is the segment?  I am new to typewriters.  I do apologize.  I've cleaned under the keys and all of the area under the machine that I could reach.  How do I get to the segment bar where the key bars are at.  I think I may have cleaned there.  I used a toothbrush though.  You're right, a Q-Tip would work better.  I wish I knew the anatomy of a typewriter so I understood where everything's at.  I didn't know if I had the ribbon in right.  In the video I linked the guys typewriter is set up differently.  His doesn't have that tiny loop bar protruding up from the ink ribbon bracket.  Do I put the ribbon behind that loop bar?  I am so confused.  I'm probably confusing you all.  I'm sorry.  I think I'm over thinking it.  Please someone make a YouTube video about this.  If I'm coming off like a jerk I do apologize

I have the same problem (typebars not quite reaching the paper) with one of my SG1s.  As far as I can tell, the mechanism which prevents typing when you reach the right margin is not set correctly, but I can't see how to release or adjust it. 
If the typebars are moving freely, then perhaps you too have the same problem that I do.  Shall be investigating further when time permits, since the feeling is exactly the same as when the typebars are interrupted at the end of a line.
ALSO, there is a mechanism on some machines that prevents full movement of the typebars when the machine is in transit, and is assocciated with the carriage lock.  It may be worth investigating these linkages too.

Thank you beak
