Yes, I was aware of that, after that part of the mechanism was loose
and been working for half an hour, I removed as much as possible using a
few tipped cotton buds and applied some light machine oil.
As the rest of the machine was working more or less fine, I greased and
oiled the other points as well.
Only the keyboard T levers needed some lubrication, as some of them
did not move freely. I used a little bit of silicone oil which I
applied with a very small brush and after a few movements their movements
was much better.

Closer inspection showed that the pawl of the advancing/return section
was barely moving. With the application of WD40 using a small brush
loosened the gummed up oil/grease and with some more cleaning and light
machine oil it was behaving as it should.
Be sure to remove the WD40 thoroughly. It's occasionally claimed to be a
lubricant, but that is not true at all. If you use it as one, you will
end up with exactly the problem you ran into.
