[GreenKeys] Model 26 intermitent key not typing ( S key skips at random )

[Joe Duszyński]

The bunching on the Left looks like the carriage not latching on CR
after a couple characters it latches and then carries on as normal.
look at dash pott arm that it moves free and the arms on the CR mechanism.
When it carriage returns the carriage is disengaged and will move freely
the dash pot arm resets/engages
the gear to advance the carriage. Probably some old waxy grease binding it
up.
