Typewriter Talk / Requesting photos from a functional Blick

**Posted by TypewriterGuy** 30-1-2016 15:39:09

I took the carriage off my block a while ago to replace some parts. I just replaced the parts today, and whenever I put the carriage back on, it grinds, and is really hard to move. So if anyone is willing to take the carriage off their blick, I need pictures of the back area where the carriage goes.

TypewriterGuy, Spazmelda has a Blick that she shows working in a video. Ask her if she is willing to look for you.

Thanks Col, I actually just managed to get it working. One of the arms with teeth on it had a broken tooth, so I managed to find one from another collector. I finally received it today, but its a little bigger. I decided to switch back to the old one, and its working fine.

Uwe, if you see this, you can delete this thread.

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier or I would have posted a photo. So, the old part with the broken tooth actually works?

Yes, Its one of those arms with the teeth under the carriage. It still has one tooth on it, and the replacement will not fit... So, better to have it working!
