The "," key (comma) is stuck on a Nakajima WPT-150 typewriter. How do I correct?

Difficult to work without a comma key! You could try cleaning under it, but there may be some type of spring under there which has broken or become dislodged. Very few people use typewriters these days. You can't clean with Carburetor cleaner, but don't get it in the plastic keys. It shouldn't do any harm, but just in case. It is based on Carbon Tetrachloride which is a cleaner and degreaser. https://www.google.com/search?q=Nakajima+WPT-150+key+stuck ..

How do I install my Nakajima WPT 150 correction tape?

The usual error Michelle, is fitting the correction tape the wrong way around. From memory, one side is shiny and goes outwards facing the typist, and the matt, slightly tacky side is towards the paper. The Orange Spool Correction spool is the correct one https://www.amazon.com/Nakajima-Typewriter-Correction-Around-Office/dp/B078MJD8DN Manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/455208/Nakajima-Wpt-150.html?page=5

Nakajima AX160 typewriter issue.

The Daisy Wheel should centre as shown here. https://itsoffice.com.my/product/pdf/NAKAJIMA-AX-160.pdf It sounds like you have moved the left margin to the centre of the carriage. https://www.google.com/search?q=nakajima+ax-160+manual This manual is probably close enough. Your AX seems like it is for a certain world market whereas the rest has WPT. A4 paper is UK and Europe, we are in North America.

I have this type nakajima ae-830, i so confuse why i can typing on my keyboard, but at my paper just blank and no one letters show at my paper. Any idea?

If you are typing on your Nakajima AE-830 typewriter but nothing is appearing on the paper, it is possible that there is an issue with the typewriter's print mechanism. Here are some things you can check to try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check the ribbon: Make sure that the typewriter ribbon is properly installed and is not worn or dry. If the ribbon is not properly installed, or if it is too old and dry, it may not be transferring ink to the paper. Consider replacing the ribbon with a new one.
  2. Check the print mechanism: Look closely at the print mechanism to see if any parts are jammed or misaligned. Make sure the print hammer is making contact with the ribbon and paper. If any parts are jammed or misaligned, carefully unjam or realign them.
  3. Check the paper feed: Make sure the paper is properly loaded and is feeding correctly through the typewriter. Make sure the paper is not jammed or wrinkled, and that the paper release lever is set correctly.
  4. Check the print settings: Check to see if the typewriter is set to the correct print mode. Some typewriters have a "stencil" mode that allows you to type without transferring ink to the paper. Make sure the typewriter is set to the correct mode for printing.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to take the typewriter to a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.

Nakajima AX-150 UK to USA transformer

The Nakajima AX-150 Typewriter requires a step-down transformer to be used in the USA, as the UK operates on 240 volts AC and the USA operates on 120 volts AC. To determine the size of the transformer needed, you will need to check the voltage and amperage rating on the typewriter's power supply or label. You can then use a transformer with a matching or slightly higher voltage rating and at least the same amperage rating to ensure it can handle the load of the typewriter. It's always best to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure you are using the correct transformer for your specific situation and to ensure safety.

I need to clear tabs and margins on NakaJIMA typewriters

Clearing tabs and margins on a Nakajima typewriter can vary depending on the model, but here are some general steps to follow:
  1. Turn off the machine and unplug it.
  2. Locate the tab and margin set buttons on the typewriter. These are typically located on the front or top of the machine, and may be labeled as "Tab Set," "Margin Set," or similar.
  3. Press and hold the tab and margin set buttons while turning on the machine.
  4. Release the buttons once the machine has powered on.
  5. The tabs and margins should now be cleared.
You can also consult the manual of the machine, it should have instructions on how to clear the tabs and margins on your specific model. It's important to note that clearing the tabs and margins on a typewriter will also reset other settings, such as line spacing and paper position, so you may have to adjust these settings again.

My Nakajima AE-710 is not typing the proper characters. This is what happens when I type the lower case letters: q=r, w=z, e=;, r=/, t=*, y=a. You can see something is screwed up. Can you help.

It appears that the print is not at the home position. Turn off machine, remove print wheel, turn on. Turn of machine, install print wheel, turn back on. If it has a CODE key, hold it down while turning the machine back on, Make sure you are not set for PROPORTIONAL SPACING.
