I know I have seen it somewhere, probably on Nick's Navy-Radio page, but
darn if I can find it now!

 

Looking for the Parts Breakdown for the typebox used on the M28, and I would
guess the M35 as well.  Really looking for the part number for the spring
that is on every type pallet inside the typebox.  Would like to see if Paul
Cembura has any in his parts stock.

 

How many of you have ever taken a type box apart?  Any pointers on getting
the spring disconnected from the pallet to prevent you from ruining the
spring?

 

Now I know why the instructors in my USAF tech school were so upset with me
when I discovered they had reversed the R and the Y that were in the typebox
on the machine I was assigned to "discover the bug."  I found the bug much
more quickly than the time it must have taken them to get the pallets
switched!  And now I understand the statement they made when they handed me
a unmodified typebox and said "we're saving this for the next smart-ass that
come through here!"

 

I was playing musical type pallets on a type box that was blank at the
FIGS-H position (STOP?) while my keyboard had a # sign on the FIGS position
and would space but not print anything.  I removed the # type pallet from a
typebox that had the fractional character type pallets that I knew I would
never use.
