Hi,

The 121 indicates a keyboard problem.The rt. keyboard connector has 7 connectors bussed together some of them become open. Cut a piece of foil wide enough to cover just those connectors and slide it down into the plug over just those 7 connections and this save replacing the keyboard.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

The keyboard is bad. Contact Geo. Beyers Co. @ 800-392-8085 for a keyboard rebuild, tell them O'Reilly sent you.

You didn't say what kind of typewriter it is or if it only happens on the symbol keys.

Turn off T/W and see if the carrier will move back and forth freely, if so try removing the batteries and unplugging the machine this will reset to defalt settings. CAUTION THIS WILL ALSO CLEAR YOUR MEMORY!! If the carrier is hard to move a little light oil on the shaft it slides on may cure the problem.
