How do I find an instruction manual , free for my swintec 2640 ty

Sounds like the hammer armature maybe cracked.

On the L. of the keyboard there is a slide switch for pitch it should be in 10, 12 or 15 not in PS. If it isn't in PS push down on it and slide it up and down a few times and leave it in 10 or 12.

There is no Italics mode on the Swintec 2640 typewriter. It sounds like you are using a printwheel that is Italics, such as Courier Italics 12. To print other than Italics, you can buy a standard printwheel here:

Swintec Printwheels

Just make sure to choose a typestyle that is not Italics.

There is no free manual for the Swintec 2640. However, you can buy a PDF of the manual for only $10 here:

How do I store in my typewriter?

The instructions to do this are located in your User Manual under "Create Text file" and "Print text file." It is too lengthy to write here. Check your manual, or if you don't have the manual, you can download one for $10.00 at www.typewritermall.com

The repeat key just types the last letter you typed over and over
