ATTEMPTING TO FIT MYSTERY PART DISTURBED A PLATEN ADJUSTMENT
One point where they mystery typewriter part might have been attached was the inside post behind a screw with locking nut that adjusts the platen (roller upon which the paper rests). I had to partly remove the post in order to slip the part over it, but once it was clear this could not do anything useful, I pulled the part off.
Unfortunately, tightening the screw left the platen misadjusted. This caused the carrier to partly jam as it tried to move along past the paper and platen. I had tried to run the Console/Keyboard diagnostic to check out my typewriter adjustments but ran into the jamming right away. I will need to set this adjustment properly before I proceed.
MOVED COMPONENTS OVER TO THE NEW 2310 INTERFACE BOARD PCB
The new PCBs arrived from the fabrication service. I chose to desolder and swap the parts from the bodged older board, to have a fully correct version of the Virtual 2315 Cartridge Facility for use with the two IBM 1130 systems that will receive it. This was easy to complete and the new boards are ready for installation.
