Sometimes it takes some screwing around, on/off with the key,
making sure it?s at the end of it?s Out cycle when Ya try to feed
in the new ribbon etc. It?s a 2 person job, one on the key the other screwing with the antenna
I?ve done a few of them and sometimes ya just hafta walk away, have a
beer and try again later...
Don?t buy that whole new antenna assembly yet...

I thought perhaps I wasn't getting the ribbon to "start" on the gear at the right point. So with the spool area completely apart, I artificially advanced it from (let's say) the 3 o'clock position to the 6 o'clock. I got it to suck all the way in (once), but when it ran it all the way out again, and back in again, it didn't pull it all the way in again. Very frustrating.
