I recently posted about a Royal KMG that had a simple problem that I fixed after looking over the internals for a little while.

Now I have a few issues that happen from time to time. They are not constant or consistant, but they happen often enough to be annoying.

The R, E, W, and V keys stick randomly. I have read that working mineral spirits into the segments will fix this. I have been working on it but I understand this may take some time.

The carriage locks at random and without warning. The keys do not lock so I end up typing two or three figures on top of the last one before I realize what happened and stop. I can usually fix this by just hitting the backspace key and then space a couple of times to get back to typing.

I have not done a complete strip down and clean yet, but I don't want to pull it apart, clean, and put it back together only to have to do it again because I didn't know what I am looking for. I would be very grateful if anyone knows what the problem might be so I can fix this when I pull it apart.

Thanks
