Hi all,
I recently acquired a very nice decwriter III and it seems in good nick. However, the self
test "hangs" on the return direction of the second line. Here is a video on it:

Anyone have any ideas where to look? In local mode, it appears to work properly. I
haven't tried any external serial connection yet.

I thought I'd send a follow up that I have fixed the decwriter (whew)...
A little lube goes a long way! Vid below.

Yikes. Very sorry about that. I didn’t think anyone was interested anymore so I deleted
it. I made a new video that combines the problem and the solution, but this video
won't be published until March 5th.

Again, that link won't work until March 5th. Sorry!
