That part needs to be replaced, because you can see on the video it doesn't allow typing wheel to go back. All other parts mechanically moving as it should be. Needs general maintenance if it will be used for typing (lubricate moving parts, to clean from dust, replace ink and etc) Super rear item. Please make sure to check all the photos and video before buying. Mt"
