Yes, I was aware of that, after that part of the mechanism was loose and been working for half an hour, I removed as much as possible using a few tipped cotton buds and applied some light machine oil. As the rest of the machine was working more or less fine, I greased and oiled the other points as well. Only the keyboard T levers needed some lubrication, as some of them did not move freely. I used a little bit of silicone oil which I applied with a very small brush and after a few movements their movements was much better. Ed -- Ik email, dus ik besta.
