More on KSR-33 Problem:

Original  problem - would space when numeral keys, but no 
when a letter key was  pressed. Code bars are moving, but 
space pawl wasn't when letter key  pressed.

This afternoon, I decided to take a reasoned approach back  
to where it was working correctly. I noted that the spacing 
cam operated  when a number key was pressed, and not when a 
letter key was. Following the  spacing lever back, it takes 
you to the selector  cams.  I could  see nothing visually 
wrong given my limited experience.

As an  experiment, I noted the setting on the range scale 
from the pointer (20)  then slightly increased it - the 
letter keys almost advanced the  carriage.

By increasing the pointer on the range scale to almost 60,  
the letters began advancing the carriage reliably. It also 
worked with  numerals. However, the CR key became less 
reliable until it had been on for  a time. This appears like 
it might work itself out after some use.

My  question is: why would this setting need to change to 
make it operate  correctly? Is there something back up the 
line from the selector not   quite up to par?

I would appreciate any suggestions. It is working now,  but 
there may still be a problem behind it.

Dave,
 
The basic way to set your range is to type while moving it up as far as it  
will go and still type perfectly, then down as far as you can go and still 
type  perfectly.  Then set in the middle.  You may have to redo this after  
you do more work on the machine.
