Hermes rocket seems like it needs some sort of engadgement or adjustment of the sprocket pawl on the ribbon advance.
Just bought this little guy and fixed and cleaned up most of my problems just this one remains. Don't really understand how it engadges (decides which way to rotate the ribbon) and how to keep the sprocket engadged. it seems like the ratchet pawl wants to jump out of the retainer. Maybe its supposed to do that in order to switch which is the driver and which is the follower. Can't figure it out.... Any help would be great.
