Post Body

Hello, I am currently trying to sort out an old Lettera 25 and have found that the shift lock key gets stuck. I have a small spring that has come loose and is currently unattached to the machine. I’m really not sure where it is supposed to attach to. Any photos / links / guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have attached some photos of the mechanism and spring.

Quick update: I’ve attached the spring like this and it seems to be working as intended? https://i.imgur.com/pHa3exy.jpg
