 Hooray! Almost there.

After unfreezing a lot of parts, cleaning, and lubrication, I finally put everything
back together for a smoke test. All keys pressed print the correct letter. Line feed
feeds the line. Figs and Ltrs do their job. Ribbon winds.

However.....
- It sporadically prints an extra space after printing a letter.
- Carriage return does not return the carriage.

Tomorrow is a troubleshooting (and hopefully, repair) day. Probably need to
unstick something else. Maybe some lubrication I missed. (Virtually every
roller was frozen. The main shaft cam unit was frozen - needed to use a
heat gun to get it loose.)

(Keyboard still needs a good cleaning. Punch still needs proper testing.)
