[GreenKeys] [External] Model 33 Issue

[Paul Kasley]

I assume you have friction feed units.

Check this: There is a bracket that holds a return spring for the line 
feed drive link coming up from the function area. The travel of the link 
is limited by a projection on this bracket. The bracket is fastened to 
the frame with two screws and the screw slots in the bracket allow its 
vertical adjustment. There is supposed to be a plastic bumper on this 
bracket that the drive link actually rests on. With time, the plastic 
bumper becomes glassy and literally shatters. This changes spacing wrt 
the drive link.

On my 32 and 33, I fashioned new bumpers out of a piece of hard rubber 
scavenged from a chunk of automobile weather stripping and re-positioned 
the bracket. I also tweaked the pry points on the linkage from the drive 
link to the feed pawl.
