[GreenKeys] Model 14 Reperf

[Nick]

I had the exact problem. Went to my local hardware store and purchased a small rubber stopper (about $1.50) and slowly carved a new, tiny block for my 14 printing reperf. Worked perfectly.

Hi All,

I have been restoring a Model 14 typing reperf and have a question that has no doubt been answered a zillion times.  I’m new to Greenkeys and don’t yet understand how to effectively search past postings.  The reperf itself works fine, except the type hammers are not making legible printing on the tape.  The ribbon is new and freshly reinked (judging  by the amount of ink absorbed by this OMs finger tips).  Current assessment is that the small, round platen has been beaten into near oblivion after decades of use.  So, what have you guys used to replace a worn M14 platen?  It is rather small in diameter and apparently was of a fairly resilient material.  All suggestions are appreciated.
