Sounds like you have got a commercial typebox rather than communications. Let me know what pallets you need. I inherited an assortment and may be able to help. FTGH.

That little spring not being connected was causing all that.Only issue I see remaining now is that a few types are printing low, like the type box is not being lifted high enough.K, A, U, W and Q are printing low.Besides that, all I need to do now is change out some type pallets for more often used characters.For example mine has "7/8" instead of a comma. "1/8" instead of a colon...Thanks!!Mike-------- Original message --------From: John <john-koster at tx.rr.com> Date: 10/2/21 3:09 PM (GMT-07:00) To: Mike McAuley <mmcauley at cox.net> Subject: Re: Model 28 with a new problem
I just confirmed there is a spring on mine. Hard to see back in
there but it's there for sure. I gotta go look at the chart some
more to see if this makes sense, but if it's just sitting in the
outer position and never in the back position, that will mess
things up.

Ok. Mine isn't 'connected' to anything really.
No spring.
Just floats between the upper & lower

Probably should have some spring tension holding it towards
the rear and then is pulled forward by either the upper or lower
slide. Kind of like an OR gate. I'd have to look at parts
section to see if spring is involved.

John, both upper and lower horizontal motion stop slides
move in & out with the bellcrank.
Is the common horiz. motion stop slide just
supposed to be free floating between them?

You get in and out motion on both slides? I guess that
would have been too easy.

That bell crank/rocker engages with just two of the
bars right? 4 & 5?
They're both engaged and appear to be
operating

You may have missed getting everything in synch when
replacing front plate

Number 5 code bar should control Lower Horizontal Motion
Stop Slide. The bell crank not in the notch in the code
bar.
I think you can confirm this by manually moving the code
bar and watching the slides. Chech #4 first to see how
it's supposed to work?

So I got the code bar 3 issue fixed
as far as I can tell. I can see all five code bars
shifting back & forth.
But now
there is a new issue...
A types as W
E types as Z
I types as P
S types as Y
U types as Q
3 types as quotation mark
7 types as 1
8 types as 0
Dash types as 2
STOP types as hashtag
Spacebar types as H
Line feed types as L
Now I was sleuthing the bit codes
for all those keys and from what I see, the common
denominator is bit 5.
On those keys, a bit 5 SPACE is
being turned into a MARK. On other characters
where bit 5 is *supposed* to be a Mark, they are
typing fine.
AND... it's not doing it on ALL the
keys where switching bit5 from S to M would change
the character. For example, typing C does not
change to V.
I can also see that these affected
characters happen to lie in the center four
columns on each side of the typebox (middle four
for the FIGS section, & middle four for the
LTRS section.)
The bit 5 code bar is NOT stuck. I
can see it freely running back & forth between
M & S.
So the question is: what could be
causing a MARK to be sent on bit 5 in cases where
it should be a SPACE?
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions
appreciated
