Machine story: | The machine seems working perfectly on arrival. After a few tries the carriage was blocking sometimes. This appears to be a problem of wear out of the carriage transport / shift mechanism. About 0.5 mm in total was missing on the catch top. This catch directly controls the shift stop of the carriage in all positions. I have bent a 0.5 mm plate of steel and mount it on top of the catch to get the carriage stop on the right positions. This works (see pictures). The alignment catch (right above the L key and under the display cap) which checks the carriage position before turning anything, is now always perfectly aligned with the carriage. Problem solved. In certain positions of the carriage it was not possible to set the swing counter to plus. The problem was a loosen hinges of the connection to the carriage transport / shift mechanism. (auto divide is not tested yet). |
