On my IBM Personal Wheelwriter III when I type a capital C, it prints "||" instead. It prints the lower case 'c' just fine. Is there a fix for this problem?

The spoke on your print wheel is either bent or broken. Replace the printwheel.

The letter F when capitalized give me this character I I (actually does not look like that but just two vertical lines) doesn't do this on the lower case and it is only the F
You have either a bent of broken spoke on your print wheel. If it is bent you may be able to fix it. The vertical lines are the hammer face.

If you do not have your instruction book, go to lexmark site and search for it, can usually download a copy, so you will allways have a reference.

Probably your print wheel has a bent or broken B spoke. If it is bent you can probably straighten it if it's broken it needs replaced.

IBM Wheelwriter doesn't type until I hit return button.
On the R. side of the keyboard is a key that says print mode press this key and the dl print on the displaywill go out.

I memory serves me the wheelwriter keyboard is a sealed unit. to remove the housing look for two slots on each side of the lower part of the upper case insert a slim screw drriver into the slot to release the top from the bottom case.

try turning the machine off put a SMALL amount of oil on the large round rod running across the typewriter manually push the print head left and right a few times to see if it will loosen up. The problem is usually caused be drying oil you may consider having it serviced by a pro.
