[GreenKeys] Model 28 misprinting

[Til128 at aol.com]

Without a picture or size reference, I would try this:
 
If it's a really tiny spring, you might want to check in two places.
 
On the rear of the front plate, or the transfer slide springs..
 
See pix.

My 28  has started misprinting.  On local loop with keyboard or off the  
TU.  Instead of an E, it often prints Z.  Of course it prints Z just  fine 
when I type Z. Seems to do the same transposition with other letter pairs  
adjacent to each other horizontally on the left side of the type box. It's not  
the range finder, I've checked that.  When doing the E-Z thing, if I  enter 
any other character between E and Z, it prints them all fine. It's like  
something in the code bars is not getting cleared after printing the  E/Z.  One 
clue:  it prints fine for about the first couple of lines  then starts 
substituting Z for E, like something is warming up. Another  clue:  when I 
opened the cabinet, I found a very tiny spring laying on  the felt pad.  Probably 
popped off somewhere?   Have been  through the drawings and maintenance 
book trying to find where this little  spring may have been, but everything 
seems to be in its place.  

Ideas?
