Old ribbon not fully used, but wheelwriter 6 letters don't type on page. When I put ribbon cassette in another machine, it does print on the page. What could be wrong with the typewriter to cause it not to print on the page when we know the ribbon is good?

Befor you put a nrw motor in try a few drops of light oil on the m
motor bearings (WD40 works well).

If it types only the top half yhe platen is probably not all the way in. Make sure the 2 black latches are lined up with the side frames then press down firmly on both sides of the platen.

Probably the plastic cap on the print soleniod is broken. They are available from us for 15.00 but a little tricky to install.

Put in a mulit part form, if it prints on the copies the ribbon isn't lifting, if it dosen't the plastic cap on the print solenoid needs replaced.

Try typing on a mulipart form. If it types on the copies and not the orinonal the ribbon is the problem. If it dosen't type on the copies then the plastic cap on the print solenoid is broken.
We sell the cap with installation instructions for 20.00 includes shipping.
