Can you manually push the keys while its shifted? (Pull the type bar)

Anybody else have any ideas?

First of all, I'm not an expert but testing and logical thinking have helped in repairs. Sometimes days of scratching my head with my dirty fingers. My first thought is, since you can type in lowercase. I would look at the underside and take note of all moving parts when pressing a key(s) in lowercase. Then use the caps lock,  pressing key(s) and see what isn't moving in comparison to the lowercase movement. Perhaps something in the carriage is obstructing the type slugs when in the higher position?

Good luck! Also, I would head over to the Yahoo Typewriter Group if you can't resolve this issue. Between this board and the yahoo board, there's a lot of knowledgeable people who are willing to help. Thank Goodness for their kindness and advice.

Thanks.  I have certainly tried to see what was not functioning already but am still stumped.  I do not want to start dismantling it if I can help it as that would probably create other issues.   Maybe I will try another forum.

I took a look at my Corona 4. I can simulate the symptom - the typebars only move about halfway in their travel - when I reach the right margin stop at the end of the line. Perhaps something is amiss, where the margin stop mechanism is being activated with the carriage in the shifted position.

Thanks Joe!  I will check it out.
