Note - The U-shaped transfer lever is actuated by the punch slides, not the other way around. So if the U-shaped transfer lever doesn't move, that is probably not a cause of the problem, but a symptom.
I think John is right in that the punch slide reset bail is not releasing the selected punch slides to go leftwards.The punch slide latches appear to be getting rotated CCW by the selector push levers as they should..The function clutch must be getting released OK or otherwise the typewheel wouldn't be operating.
So that leaves the punch slide reset bail holding up the punch slides....The perforator trip lever releases that reset bail via the reset bail trip lever.

You should be able to rotate the reperf by hand to see if that is the case. Use a dental pick or the like to activate some punch slide latches.
Following what is happening when motor driven is hard to do - if you take it off the base and rotate the main shaft by hand, you can pick it up and look underneath, and clearly see the punch slide reset bail, etc.
Careful reading of the description of operation is essential to understanding what should happen.
In my mind, the manuals were unfortunately written to
a) act as a guide when getting patient hands-on classroom instruction
b) act as a refresher for folks who are repairing their 85th reperf....

Good luck,

Yes I fully agree. I think that is what I have to track down next. I’d love to see a slow mo video of such a thing working correctly. I guess I could remove this one and replace it with my old LPR and take a video. If anyone happens to have a video (or url to a video) I’d love to see it, would save me from swapping LPRs again. If not, that is my next course of action.

 

Have a great night everyone!
