  I have the issue of the loose index release on the left platen knob. I am not able to thread it on. I continue to spin it and the threads don’t catch. How can I fix this?

• 
  @TypewriterJustice4 күн бұрын

  @@EmmaIturriria Patience & careful observation are the key! make sure that the index tensioner(in the indexing assembly, the tiny roller on an arm) is properly seated ON the sprocket teeth instead of NEXT to them, as this would keep the platen from fitting all the way left, causing the threads to not meet; it’s also possible that the indexing assembly is slightly out of position on its pivot collar, leading to the same result. when in doubt, it’s better to remove the platen, check everything, and then insert it again rather than to fight with it on the first try or to bend/force anything.

  Thank you! I gave it a try but it still won’t thread on. I tried screwing it onto the platen outside of the machine and it won’t thread. Do you think it could be a problem with the threading?

  @@EmmaIturririahmm. if the threads on the end of the platen were damaged in the removal/installation(which is entirely possible & fairly easy to do) then that would definitely need to be addressed before reassembly, and unless you have excellent eyesight i suggest inspecting them under magnification. It's worthy of mention that these are NOT reverse threaded, so it should behave like a regular nut/bolt arrangement. If the thread end is laid over, you can(also under magnification) set it straight with needle files, a utility knife, or really anything slim enough to separate the thread channels.

  I just got a dirty but fully working "All-New" Personal Portable (with the green keyboard), and it's missing the paper table completely. These Remingtons are not quite as common here in the Nordic countries as there in the US, but if I happen to find a parts machine from the "Riter" series, I assume that I can just take the paper table from that one and install it on the All-New? The only difference I have noticed is the decal and the paper guide.

  @andrebartels16903 ай бұрын

  I have an old SG1 myself, and it's fantastic. You forgot to mention that it has segment shift, which means that your shift key stroke doesn't lift the heavy carriage. It lowers the segment with the type levers, which is perfectly weighed in springs, so shifting is effortless and fast. And you can type on the half step. Your carriage moves two half steps when writing. If you missed a letter in a word, you can erase the whole word. Then go to the space after the last letter of the word before, where you would press space. There, you depress the space bar and without releasing type the first letter of the correct word. Then release space. You now have half a letter of space instead of a whole letter. Then proceed to depress space, type, release space and so on. You should end up with half a letter of space at the end of a correct word that you just squeezed into a spot that is one letter too short. Pretty neat.

With some PB Blaster into the right side in general (get it into the hole where the set screw is and was after removing it), a good ol twisting will get it loose for sure.

  my pleasure, friend :) best suggestion i have for Erika’s is to make sure you have proper thin-blade (yet still fairly wide) screwdrivers, because their screws are usually super tight & will strip if your driver is the wrong size; i thinned down a gunsmithing screwdriver on a grinding wheel so i can break the screws loose then switch to my regular drivers. also, invest in a can of AeroKroil - it’s worth every penny. have fun! and configurations on the 5, they’re fantastic machines :)

  don’t take it apart just yet, and >definitely< don’t take the carriage off! there are several different possible causes, and none of them require carriage removal to repair. First thing to check is the margin release key, since the ‘magic margin’ system leads to people often setting both margins right next to each other; hold down the Margin Release key while you try to move the carriage, and if it moves then voila! if not, there might actually be a problem. i have a video on a similar model that will familiarize you w all the controls kzread.info/dash/bejne/mI5mz9OKn9DSZ5c.htmlsi=O099yNYbmV5pGQhv and there might actually be a repair shop near you - check the list at site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/tw-repair.html

  the platen is pretty easy on these, so have no fear. engage the index detent(silver lever, left end of the carriage) then remove the Left knob. after that you can loosen or remove the platen collar screws from the Right end of the platen, and then spin the right knob(which will also wiggle & spin the platen rod) as you pull the rod & Right knob out to the right.

  Lovely machine (I have the Model Seven from 1936). I have to mention that the ribbon on this machine is not put on correctly (there are original manuals to this typewriter online). The ribbon should be looped around those two side posts, so the posts would not be showing (!) This corrects the tension for a better type print and also stops the occasional 'bunching up' of the ribbon that can happen when done as is shown in this presentation. Great machines really, and an otherwise very nice presentation.
