Not good. It may be an easy repair though. Facits are really nice machines. Then anything that is made can break. I hope you find the problem and it is repairable.
It might be something simple, like a spring that came disconnected, but taking out and replacing the platen on the TP1 is difficult, as I recall. Try it -- you will learn something, anyway.
Fix that beautiful machine! As the others have said, it may just be a spring problem or something else minor. With all the good things said about these Facit's among typosherians, it is definitely worth tinkering with before getting rid of. Good luck with your repairs!
