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

[thomas baggio]

Hi Tony

I found the clutch.

When the problem occurs, the clutch spins more than once. 

When the problem doesn’t occur, the clutch spins once. 

Keys always return to normal position 

Thanks

Tom
