[GreenKeys] Model 15 Print Problem

Howdy all,

Wondering if someone among the knowledgeable GreenKeys masses out there 
knows a quick answer to this Model 15 RO problem I have.  I am more 
familiar with the 28s and find myself staring at the 15 not knowing where 
to start... I do have a couple of small manuals for the 15, but haven't dug 
into those yet.

This 15 RO is operating just fine, except that the type bars aren't making 
it to the ribbon and paper.  It spaces, shifts, the carriage returns 
properly, line feed works, etc. but the type bars just sort of feebly jump 
a bit and don't make it all the way up.  I am assuming (hoping) it's a 
simple adjustment somewhere.

This RO was operating fine when I first got it a couple of years ago and I 
haven't put too many hours on it.  I received it geared for 67 WPM and 
through the GreenKeyers last year I was able to get a 60 WPM gear set and a 
spring that it was missing.  It had its maiden run on 60 WPM during last 
year's ITTY pix run on New Year's Day but the type bars petered out after a 
short period of time and I haven't looked at it again until now.

Any thoughts of where I should be looking at this beastie to correct the 
problem?

Many thanks es 73,

Doug, KA2WFT

NNNN
