| Machine story: | The machine was working properly on arrival during a shortform test(july 2010). Situation sept 2010: After removing the bottom plate and keyboard plate, for extensive rust cleaning, I made the mistake to pull the handle (after making the pictures). The key plates were meshed up on the handle site due to the missing support of the plate (to keep them horizontal on place). After several tries to reassembling, the total and intermediate summing key and the minus key cannot pushed in. The adding still works fine, but zero setting is not possible. Will need some more time to figure out, or have some external advice, why a certain catch / bridge will not move down !! Situation november 2011 After analyzing the 300S-black machine, I discovered the mistake I made during the assembly in september. A small plate was blocking the whole sequence of total printing. Solving that and assembling the machine in the proper way this problem was diminished. Now the total key must be hold during total result printing. At the 5e row the one and two key's are not keeping there position after activating those. Holding those the correct number is loaded. Next time |
