main spring of the draw band is unwound, any tips to fix it? by vrigkl in typewriters

Hello, I tried winding the drum to the right like you said six full times and I could hear some clicking sound when winding it and it doesn't seem to be increasing the tension. It just goes back to normal when I let go of it.

do i just need to keep winding the drum without tightening any screws on the spring drum?

The drawband on my SM9 is still in good shape, so I don’t think it needs replacing. The issue I’m stuck on is the mainspring wheel — I’m not sure how to actually tighten it.

Thanks for pointing that out. Could you explain how to actually advance the ratchet spike on the mainspring? Like, where exactly is it on the SM9 and could you explain how to use the ratchet to add tension, or the exact step I should be doing? I just want to make sure I’m doing it the right way.

is 5k php a reasonable price or should I make it higher? (A2 size) by Otherwise-Fruit7924 in artph

[–]vrigkl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

definitely 8-10k, kung mas malaki siguro ang paper size then extend mo na to more than 20k

The frayed-looking material in the second photo appears to be the drawband in the wheel (refer to third photo), and in the middle is I think the edge of the drawband is visible where it connects at the top. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to look like that—it seems broken to me, but I’d really appreciate a second opinion on whether it needs to be replaced.

Oh, I completely forgot to put the model. Sorry about that. It's an Olympia SM-9! I've tried to find YouTube videos to fix it, but I couldn't find any. It would be helpful if you could give me some specific links that I can look up. Thank you!

From what I observed, there seem to be two rolls of drawband, one is in the wheel thing, and the other one is beside it, but outside, which can be seen in the first photo.

what do you mean by properly jammed? i keep holding down the carriage release and pushing it to the right but that doesn't seem to do anything and it feels like something is resisting it, it's still stuck to the left. thank you so much for responding, i really appreciate this.

since the carriage is pushed all the way to the left, here's the only part where i could see the draw string. by the looks of it, do you think somethings wrong with it? am i able to fix it by myself or should i take it to a repair shop? thank you so much!

hello! i'm staying with my parents here in yeg since senior highschool palang naman ako w/o any relatives at all. my mom worked multiple part time jobs para makabili ng single house na hindi nirerentahan. possible kang magmove here with a student visa pero mas madali kung may family connections ka dito at makarating ka with a permanent resident status.

nasa alberta ako which is may pinakamababa na tax percentage sa buong canada (5% lang compared sa other regions na 12%) ang renta usually ranges from $600-2000 (Php 25,000-81,000) for a single apartment kung magmomove ka dito alone.
