Olympia SM3 issue solved!

Olympia SM3 issues & First Snow of Autumn 2012

I just noticed that my previous (and only other) post about my Olympia SM3 last year was also in conjunction with the first snow of the 2011-12 season. What is it about this time of year?

A bath in the meadow, anyone? I think not.

The pines in the distance are pretty with a light dusting of snow.

The Sky Deck on the western side of the building.

...and this morning,  a view looking out the Sky Deck door. Cat Rupert's first (of many!) trips outdoors.

The "rocker arm" or whatever it's called, middle left, is currently not engaged with the teeth underneath the right ribbon spool, allowing it to move freely to the left.

When these teeth are engaged, the spool reverses and moves towards the right. This is happening prematurely, and we're trying to determine the cause. It doesn't happen when the ribbon spools are removed.

NaNoWriMo, Olympia SM3 & First snow!
