[GreenKeys] Model 28 keyboard issue. Pressing one key results in multiple letters printed

[thomas baggio]

Hi Tony

I opened it up and watched the clutch which I believe is on the right hand side of the model 28. 
Pressed a key and could see that sometimes the clutch spins more than once. Key always returns to the up position 
The clutch spinning more than once does not happen on ever key press, probably every 8th key press

Any idea what needs adjusting?

Thanks in advance

Tom
