Description:
This machine has a lot of problems. The tab jams the carriage, the ribbons didn't advance, and the platen gear and platen spin separately. I got the ribbons to advance so far. There is a lot of rust in it. The capital letters are also misaligned.
Edit: It is mostly fixed but the tabulator still jams the carriage. The alignment seems to not need adjustment so I don't know why it had capital letters misaligned. The rust in the machine seemed to seize a lot of the mechanisms so they had to be persuaded.
