|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. :-)
