Gregory's Server@settinger @Knitronomicon @MLE_online I have never heard of this! I don't really understand how that would happen (not doubting it did). Was it just due to accumulated stress from repeatedly striking the same letter too quickly?

@Knitronomicon @settinger @MLE_online Fascinating. I have a few elements that are missing the levers from their caps like that. I've been trying to collect the 1st generation ones that just have "rabbit ears" (wires) that you press together to take them on and off with. Hard to find. |
@zcopley @settinger @MLE_online As I understand it, it was from the tilt/spin/strike mechanism below the ball - it was controlled by the teeth on the ball fitting into the mechanism, so if you pushed it to go too fast, it put pressure on the teeth.
