Took a closer look at this and it is indeed what is happening. When the
problem shows itself,
I can see the metal bar for 3 being moved to the right, but it doesn't
stay there and moves
a bit back to the left. When pushing it in, the O is correct. And
observing correct printing,
the bar stays to the right for the O and doesn't move back to the left.
It doesn't move fully back to the left, but just partially... enough to
make pulse 3 active.
Cleaned & oiled the thing more, but still not quite there.
