[GreenKeys] Model 19 gears

[E.]

Are your veins moving freely / are they straight (not bent)?  If it was typing ok before you took the type basket off, something could have gotten out of whack with the veins.  Also make sure the type basket is situated nicely with them.  Best of luck ^^ !

I used a soldering iron to heat the stuck ribbon spindle and eventually got it softened enough I could turn it well by hand although it might not be quite as "free" as the other one.  I went ahead and lubed all the obvious spots on the typing basket and base and put everything back together.  I hooked it up to ITTY and I'm back to printing mostly gibberish.  I've tried adjusting the rangefinder without success.  Does the machine just need some time to go through its motions and settle down after all the "work" I've done to it?  I'm not sure if I could have knocked a spring loose or something like that.
