There's a a nut there that's easily accessible and can be loosened. Try loosening the nut and raising the back of the carriage up or down on that wheel.Martin A.

I think I really need to give the typeslugs a good cleaning, as my biggest issue is uneven letters on the page. I suppose that could be a platen issue or even a U-bar alignment issue, but I'll go with the cleaning first!deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544682967202255087.post-51291900106050858222012-03-02T07:09:58.226-08:002012-03-02T07:09:58.226-08:00Perhaps I should retract what I said about Officer...Perhaps I should retract what I said about Officer Printype and the green color after reading your comment.

I also rather liked the green Olivers, black being a rather common hue for typewriters.<br /><br />This looks like a nice Oliver, and thanks for the detailed review and explanations on how this differs from the earlier models. The ribbon reverse sounds mighty convenient, I must say. I am still nervous about the noise, but I think the sheer pleasure of watching the Oliver at work makes up for it... I look forward to having one of these one day!Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.com
