The ribbon seems to be fine but somehow when the keys are pressed I only see a faded smudge of ink on the paper. Also, with all this messing around with the typewriter I seemed to have lost the original place where the correcting ribbon was suppose to go.
I have the same problem

Seems like the ribbon may be cought in the printwheel of in front of it. Release the printwheel, make sure nothing is caught, and resnap it closed. Make sure the prinwheel rotates when it is first turned on or the proper character will not be struck.
