Olympia SM9 Platten Guide Misalignment
Hey Everyone, My 1960s Olympia SM9 (just purchased off craigslist) works fine except a small problem: the metal piece that guides the paper up and away from the platen (Pictures here) isn't flush with the platen on the left side (right side is fine). As a result, the paper sometimes gets stuck. Any ideas for how to bend it back or otherwise ensure that the paper doesn't keep getting stuck? Not a critical issue but certainly a bit annoying.

Lift it up and gently twist it until it fits properly.
