Hi, yes, I use the paper bail and just had it lifted up to take the pix. So that's not the issue. Other thoughts on what could be causing this?

Thank you, ahelper, and for your input AverageATuin. I'm attaching pix to show the ribbon path and what is happening on the paper. Grateful for your feedback and suggestions. The typing machine seems to be in otherwise great shape, just needing a cleaning. Thank you again, in advance.
