Of all the aggravating adjustments on the 33, the line feed
gets the award! Later machines had a much more refined
mechanism, but the older and probably more plentiful models
required a lot of cussing, swearing and a little adjusting.
The line feed pawl that actually moves the platen sometimes wears.
After making sure your machine is in good operating shape by
sending the reversals (U*U*U*U*) and making sure the
selector is working correctly, watch to see if the pawl
tries to advance the platen every time you send it a
LINE FEED character. If it seems to miss sometimes and only
feed halfway other times, then that's what you need to
fiddle with...
