Typewriter Talk / Underwood No 5 Margin Release Button Issue

**Posted by skatermem** 20-3-2024 06:50:32

I see. My bell rings. I recall long ago a piece breaking off/coming apart on it and i don't recall if the piece was put back in or lost or possibly shifted and twisted.

Does anyone have any pictures (one of the bottom left corner under the foot and one behind the button) of the area?

I fixed it by bending the bell frame lever and the keylock . Now it stops at the margin pointer locking the keys and then i press the release button and i can type 4 more characters then it locks. Then i press the release button again and i can type 1 more character. However it doesn't lock the keys again (the carriage doesn't move but i can keep typing over the last character), is it supposed to?
