[GreenKeys] Kleinschmidt TT100B paper feed

[Duncan Brown]

Julian,

Are you sure that the platen release lever on the right side of the 
platen is in the right position?
I think you move it forward to lrelease the platen roller to feed in the 
paper and then push it back to tighten the roller. (Might be the other 
way round)

I've worked on a lot of old TT-4s & TT-98s and if the line feed rotates 
the platen the paper has always is fed OK.

Good luck & have fun,
