I cleaned the new Remington typewriter with some mineral spirits. Just repaired the ribbon vibrator return spring (it had come unhooked).
Vibrator is returning correctly now, but letters are printing with partial fill. It looks like the ribbon isn't lifting high enough to cover the full slug on each strike. It's not every key. y,t,f,h and a couple others are the offenders.
When I manually lift the vibrator and hit a key, the letters are filled correctly.
Platen feels soft, brand new ribbon.
Do I need to give it another cleaning? or is there a vibrator adjustment on this typewriter?
Also, when I got it, 2 plastic cover tabs were broken, I epoxied the tabs back on, but also wondering if there's a better way to repair the tabs? (I assume they will just break again and the answer is to just leave it be.)
Thank you for the help.
