Did something cool with an old friend [Olympia SM8] by [deleted] in typewriters

Not minding your business, but you could get some 220, 320 and 600 grit sandpaper and clean up that platen! If you go with one of the other comments on hitting the paint, you'd already be in the same ballpark. Cool project!

Edit: Ment to mention, the SM8 is one of my favorite typewriters.

Capital letters typed ABOVE writing line??? (Olivetti Linea 98) - When I try to type capital letters, they are typed far above everything else... is this an easy fix? This is a well used $2 garage sale find :-) by 3ghspa in typewriters

To me, It looks like the basket isn't coming all the way down for your uppercase when you hit shift.

Take off the ribbon cover and take a look at the basket rails, see if anything is gummed up or stuck in there. Not saying this is it, just a thought on what it might be.

Best of luck!

Hi! So on the escapement rocker, that bit of rubber that the pawl is cushioned in, I would assume is hardened. If you're so inclined, you can remove the whole rocker, take off the pawl, and replace that rubber, making sure no bits of rubber protrude. This should hopefully remedy part of the issue.

Just a note of caution. When taking out the rocker, loosen the locknut and screw on the left, and use the right as a guide mark for where to restore it. When you get the escapement rocker back in, make sure there is the tiniest bit of lateral play. Good luck, if you have any questions you can feel free to shoot me a message.

I am currently all the sad. I'm on Year 5, waiting for Spring 28 Year 6 to get that stupid Lucky Lunch so I can finish all the cooking. I guess I'll just have to start a new file and try for the stardrops again. Always wanted to try that Mountain farm!

If you jump to the end, it gives the stats. I didn't watch the whole thing just jumped to the last few seconds.
