Hello.

I have recently bought a Silver Reed 2600 electric typewriter. A few days ago the driving belt jumped of and i decided to fix it. I tought that to remove the outer plastic shell, I needed to remove the carriage. Well no turns out i did not need to do that... in the process of moving the caridge down, I heared a snap and a quick rolling sound. I went about my work as I didn't see any problems as the drawstring seemed to be intact. I proceded to fix the belt than put the machine back together and when i power it on, it types but the caridge does not move with the typeing. Nor does the enter button work. So diasasembled it again and now I found a metal disk that seems to be spring loaded and Im not sure if its related to it at all. I tried wraping a string, what I assume to be the drawstring around it.

So I am asking for help as to how to fix this mess. I will be adding some pictures of the, what I think are relevant parts. (English is not my first language, sorry for spellings.)

EDIT: I don't know if the pictures I inclouded show up at all.
