Thanks very much. I'm just about to try this same repair on my vintage Remington portable model 5. Hopefully it's pretty similar. Thanks for the very clear instructions
Hey buddy. Just so you don't loose sleep I have your Olympia SF 1960 Show Cased on Face Book with 13 Dynamic Pictures and Writing on 100% Cotton 32lb. Thank You Again !
Hey ! A video I can use. Hmmm? It hasn't come easy but, I didn't expect it to. I was going to ask you which Direction to wind the Spool ? Counter Clockwise or Vise Versa? This is "Therapy" any way I look at it. I can Fuss and Gripe about it or I can take it easy, relax, and set my mind to accomplishing a task that isn't Impossible. It may take a little while But, I will survive and it will get Accomplished. Later and thank you for the Play by Play on this assignment. Kevin
The drum will only build tension in one direction. If you start turning it then after a few turns it makes a slip or pop sound and looses tension then you are turning it the wrong way. Try turning it the other way and as it builds tension it will keep its tension. This is the way it likes to be wound. I wouldn’t go so far as saying it is clockwise or counterclockwise as I really don’t know what perspective you are facing the drum. I feel awful that the band came off your machine but I am glad you are facing it with a non defeated attitude. Hopefully you can give it your best and get it sorted.
@@HotRodTypewriter No go as of yet. I figured I was turning it Backwards when it "popped" or snapped loosing tension. I am going Directly Towards the "Pin" where the Chrome Handle releases the Carriage to Travel back and forth Smoothly. I did manage to Safely navigate the Route and make it through to the other side. Unfortunately had it wound incorrectly. I'll watch a few more SF videos and maybe I'll catch something I am missing. I think I can, I think I can, I Know I can, I Know I can ! Kevin.
