Some of the 15 problems we talk about in this book:
If your typewriter works fine, but it only types in one line like this:
H
E
L
P
!
If your carriage is loose and there is a piece of string flapping about underneath it.
If the upper and lowercase letters aren’t aligned
Turning the letters inside glass keys the right way round
If the ribbon is faint even though it is not old
And much more.
45 pages with photos and illustrations of step by step instructions on how to fix 15 different typewriter problems, and to have you up and running in no time.
There are a few common problems people come across that can be easily fixed, because mostly a lot of these things aren’t problems at all, it’s just about knowing which lever is causing it and then sorting it out. No two models of typewriter have their levers in exactly the same place, but in this zine we point out the broad area and show a few different examples for you to see. Typewriters are machines that have been made using precision instruments, they rely on every angle and length and spring and cog working together to get the letters to hit the page, just one small adjustment of one part may result in the complete mis-alignment of the letters on the page, so taking it apart could completely ruin it.
This zine is designed to show you what you need to unscrew, what to leave alone, and what bits you can fix without having to take your typewriter apart and completely ruining it.
