[GreenKeys] Model 15 letter F error

[Harold Hallikainen]

Since the original post mentioned that two type bars come up at once, I
wonder if there is an excessively worn code bar allowing a pullbar to be
caught by the printing bail when it should not. Or perhaps the code bars
are not moving far enough letting slots for two pull bars to line up
somewhat. Finally, perhaps there is too little space between the pull bars
and the printing bail so a pullbar gets caught when it should not. But I
think the last case would result in a typebar coming up every time, which
appears to not be the case. I'm going to guess that the code bars are not
moving all the way to one position or the other.

Good luck!
