Platen not rotating

Forgive my lack of knowledge regarding the mechanics of typewriters.  I've got a 1937 Royal O that just started having issues in the middle of typing last night.  The platen will rotate with the knobs if you turn them, but it will not move when throwing the return lever.  So it - and the paper - don't advance.  Normally I'd tear into something and try to figure it out, but I don't want to damage anything as it has a lot of sentimental value.  Thanks a lot!

Re: Platen not rotating

Check that the line spacing selector lever is set to something other than zero.
