IF UNIT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TYPING BUT NOTHING SHOWS ON PAPER, THEN THE BUMPER PAD ON THE HAMMER SOLENOID HAS FALLEN APART AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MOST TYPEWRITER REPAIR COMPANIES SHOULD HAVE THIS PART IN STOCK AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE IT IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES.

Manuals for sharp T/Ws are few and for between. If yuo really think you have "mislaid" it I wood look harder.

Remove the black plastic dust covers Spray WD40 on everything that moves, grease the cycle clutch, lube the motor brarings.

215 is a print wheel error. If you have the "FLAG" broken it will have to be replaced. You will probably need a tech.

DickyO

You didn't give a model So I'll guess a wheelwriter, try a little WD40 on the silver shaft that the carrier slides on.

Assuming this is a selectric, spray keyboard pivot points with wd40 allow it to sit a few hrs. then try to work it in.

DickyO

Try CODE "L"

Under the L. side frame of the carrier is the solenoid it's about i 1/4" in diameter the cap is on the end facing the platen. We sell them for 20.00 includes shipping and instructions. With very little ability you should be able to install it.

You should hear the motor and the function keys should work index ret. etc. If it has been sitting for a long time the motor or power switch may be gummy.

I assume you are talking about a selectric T/W. You can use some WD40 on it but they usually have to be taken apart to properly free up.
