Well, I finally tracked down the skipping issue with Great Aunt Barbara's (RIP) SCM Super-G Ghia. It's got a broken tooth on the escapement gear... /sigh

Beyond my abilities to fix

#typewriter #SCM #SmithCorona #SuperG

Okay, I think I've tracked down the issue and repaired the intermittent slip from single linespacing to 1.5 linespacing on my #SearsCitation #typewriter (a rebrand of a #SMCgalaxie) 1968.

I needed to bend up this little tab/ledge that the rocker arm, which moves the gear, rests on. Now, it appears to stay in single linespacing

(fingers crossed)

It might need some fine-tuning, but at least I have something to tune now :)

Okay, so, I got this brilliant idea to perhaps publish an old code repository I have lying around.

Unfortunately, it's in CVS.

Doubly unfortunately, apparently cvs2svn (and cvs2git), as well as the tool called "tailor", are unmaintained, and using them involves setting up #Python 2. I thought I told that damn thing to never darken our door again.

Triply unfortunately, the only other program I found that *purportedly* imports CVS to Git, cvs-fast-export, is... producing some *weird* results when I point the repo at it. Included converter script fails because the binary segfaults when reading some files. If I feed the files individually to the binary, it works. ...what

I guess I'll have to get back to this later on. May need to install Python 2 after all, brrrrr.
