How about the platen removal for a Groma Kolibri? I know several folks with indexing broken and no way to know how to reassemble. Plus several who are too scared to touch it. Really would appreciate a help on this one!
Some great tips, I especially appreciate the grub screw advice. Thanks.

The Optima Elite 3 was my gateway drug into the world of vintage tyewriters! Great video, as always!
they’re such wonderfully over-engineered machines :)
Excellent! Thank you, sir. I’ve got my first ever Optima Elite 3 on the bench today, so the timing of you posting this just now is impeccable! 🙏
dude LOL my heart goes out to you - the platen removal is where the Elite 3 stops being easy ;)
