Problem for IBM Wheelwriter 30 Typewriter

My IBM Selectric II types the wrong letters.

My IBM Selectric II types the wrong letters. No matter which key I press a different letter will be typed. But there is consistency in that the wrong letter will repeat over and over again so its not random.

Sounds like the cable might have slipped off the pulley, with the cover off, check all cables to the carriage assy. You need a tool like a spring hook to gently slide the cable back on to the pulley.
