in searching for help with my typewriter troubles, i stumbled upon a few typewriter videos you have.
would you possibly be able to help me?
My Sharp PA-3020 II electric typewriter seems to be hitting between the letters? so it just makes verticle lines. it was typing fine for a good long while. i dont know what i did. is there anyway to fix it?
i havent been able to find anything on the internet yet.
