- Hi Michael,
-
- It sounds like the little "clutch" spring inside the
- ribbon advance mechanism broke. If you are lucky
- you might be able to configure a new "hook" on
- the remaining piece to repair it. If not, it might
- be pretty hard to find a new spring. I think that
- Comm-Tech Computer Services (314-291-0114) had some
- at one time. It might be worth a call to find out.
-
- Hope this helps,
