|My Kaypro also tends to go 'out of kilter' now and again, and the only proven |solution is to whack on the side with a rubber mallet (I'm not kidding, I'ts |right here by my side) which cures the problem instantly. No amount of service |calls, or replacement of components has fixed the problem, but a good whack |will do the trick every time. Reminds me of the cartoon in an electronics hobby magazine (pre-computer) where the housewife is saying to the TV serviceman: "At first I thought of giving it a kick but then I decided I had better leave it to an expert", as the latter carefully takes a rubber mallet out of his tool bag. :-)
