[GreenKeys] Model 28 Typebox Alignment?

[Dennis Hanley]

OK, I just came in from the garage to confess my embarrassment and
oversight.

I was taking a close look with a magnifier and saw that the paper was
indeed indented on the top half of the characters from being struck. I
lifted the ribbon with my fingers while pressing one of the keys in
question.  It printed perfectly.  Huh, the ribbon is not in the lifting
forks...  Dooooh!!!

It's with hat in hand that I apologise for my oversight and for the
unnecessary post to the list..  And thank those that did respond so
promptly!

John, you hit it right on the head!

Dennis, KB6C
