A couple of 3/8” wide self-adhesive rare earth magnets gave me the the other parts (these were in a set of various sizes from Lee Valley Tools). Without removing the red covering on the adhesive side, I experimented and found the right places for the magnets.

It is a Meccano or Erector Set flat strip, 11 holes by 3. It slides between the rear paper table on the carriage, the one you need to fold back to change the tabs, and the rubber tubing that holds the tabs in place, and stops them falling off the tab rack when the typewriter is in its case. A similar piece of plastic, 5 1/2" by 1 1/2" and about the thickness of a credit card would do the same job.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TGgt5f6LOmc/YJsQtHSDwII/AAAAAAAABtA/NKQSLIBVZeEpXGU1qee63Chy1Yf0tFIXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/AB0F2DD4-9087-4689-AF8C-277EA30B8F47.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TGgt5f6LOmc/YJsQtHSDwII/AAAAAAAABtA/NKQSLIBVZeEpXGU1qee63Chy1Yf0tFIXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/AB0F2DD4-9087-4689-AF8C-277EA30B8F47.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The rubber tubing that holds the tabs in place may be old, cracked and crumbly, like the example here:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PMgY5lpAQZ8/YJsRO-UEmeI/AAAAAAAABtI/PxmC6_xUZS4b4bpEtfDc6JkSwFN_319dACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/8502DDE8-731F-41B4-83A8-25E86FE66FD2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PMgY5lpAQZ8/YJsRO-UEmeI/AAAAAAAABtI/PxmC6_xUZS4b4bpEtfDc6JkSwFN_319dACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/8502DDE8-731F-41B4-83A8-25E86FE66FD2.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>If that is the case, you will need to replace it.

With a piece of coathanger wire and two magnets, you can make one! The magnets are the kind with 3/4” wide bases, and hooks screwed into them. I bought mine from Lee Valley Tools of Ottawa.<p></p><p>Unscrew the hooks so you just have the magnetic bases. Let the two magnetic bases adhere to the back of the carriage, centering them under each end of the Quiet De Luxe badge, and making sure you can swing open the cover that hides the margin settings.</p><p>Take a piece of coathanger wire, about ten inches long, and straighten it with pliers. You can substitute a similar guage of wire, as long as it is ferrous (can be attracted by a magnet). Make a loop with pliers at each end to go over the outside of the magnets. Bend the middle into a smooth curve, until the two looped ends will go over the magnets. Add a gentle backwards curve of maybe twenty degrees to align the support with the top of the carriage back.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iDRj3m1xYLI/YJSJOp07weI/AAAAAAAABsY/leZbXU8fwjc98P_Tf_M53gpqLlhYNwEHQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/9A21CF43-DBBE-4242-9D45-69E3476BFF34.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iDRj3m1xYLI/YJSJOp07weI/AAAAAAAABsY/leZbXU8fwjc98P_Tf_M53gpqLlhYNwEHQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h480/9A21CF43-DBBE-4242-9D45-69E3476BFF34.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>David Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14974570821445233033noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363608056146200235.post-90784059014748599542021-03-08T16:51:00.001-08:002021-03-08T21:50:50.044-08:00Typewriter - Adler J5, 1974, Replacement Feet<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aOz13bgg5EE/YEbBUj6SHqI/AAAAAAAABlY/ivhexUawQRwO7vM2PlD9sClGkI8dLjuMACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/F5199275-5F11-46B8-81B1-3EF0641720C8.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aOz13bgg5EE/YEbBUj6SHqI/AAAAAAAABlY/ivhexUawQRwO7vM2PlD9sClGkI8dLjuMACLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/F5199275-5F11-46B8-81B1-3EF0641720C8.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>This Adler J5 is a lovely typewriter to use.

The particles of the old foam also get into the works. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The solution is 1/16" thick closed cell, self-adhesive neoprene. It's a perfect replacement. I bought a foot square piece on eBay from seller adrian22305.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">First photograph the part with the old foam still in it. The following example is from a 1959 Oliver Courier typewriter.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sVTZNMLGNIQ/WqHslx_g66I/AAAAAAAAA9Y/Ey-UuuZCOwMsO9FMySPWhCbtZqCXfGTZwCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image--1222959790.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sVTZNMLGNIQ/WqHslx_g66I/AAAAAAAAA9Y/Ey-UuuZCOwMsO9FMySPWhCbtZqCXfGTZwCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image--1222959790.jpg"></a> </div><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This gives you clues as to how far the replacement needs to fit so it doesn't foul any of the mechanism. Pay attention to any bare spots for this reason, particularly when working on parts in the sides of a typewriter's bodywork.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Next you remove the old foam. This is usually easy, as some can be brushed out or rubbed off. You can remove the glue that held the foam on with gentle scraping. Make a paper template to fit the area where the foam used to be. Use a pencil to transfer tricky areas like curves onto the paper before you cut it, and check your photographs for special areas that need to be cut out.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Turn the template the other way up, and use a fine Sharpie marker to transfer the template shape onto the paper backing of the neoprene. Cut out the shape following the marks, then check the fit. If extra cutting is needed to allow for the thickness of the neoprene, you'll be able to see this. Once the neoprene fits, remove the backing and set the new material in place.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7oVSloZoF0Y/WqHsnOGmp9I/AAAAAAAAA9c/VGowfh1a9cQhjFLnDLamtJplpf2thv0hgCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image--195457141.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7oVSloZoF0Y/WqHsnOGmp9I/AAAAAAAAA9c/VGowfh1a9cQhjFLnDLamtJplpf2thv0hgCHMYCw/s640/blogger-image--195457141.jpg"></a></div><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Reassemble the typewriter, and enjoy the more refined sound.

The red caps produced by the Singer Scholastic T-4 typewriter are due to a fluke when I was adjusting the ribbon vibrator mechanism to get it to work. I liked the result, so have kept the machine adjusted that way.<br />
