Ribbon vibrator not resetting
I have a corsair deluxe and the ribbon vibrator is not going back into the initial position after I type a letter. How can I fix this?

Did it suddenly do this (the machine was working fine before) or did you just get the typewriter and this is a problem you're having with it?

Re: Ribbon vibrator not resetting
The most likely issue is that the vibrator is a bit dirty and needs some cleaning. Try using a little amount of rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and cleaning the ribbon vibrator with it. Do NOT use any lubricant of any sort, ribbon vibrators are generally designed to run dry.

Oops, Uwe beat me to the post. If it appears to be a mechanical issue disregard what I said.
