[CW] Vibroplex scratchy dits solved!!!!!!!

[Joe]

Another old TTY guy?  Worked in an USAF WU Plan 55 automatic switching 
center at Andrews AFB. Our LBXD  readers ran 24/7. Sometimes,
on a Sunday night, they might get a break.

Oil was one culprit then too and the alcohol worked great.  And, it got 
into our open frame relays as well. So, a burnishing tool in our pocket as
well as the paper stips and little bottle of alcohol. I think some techs 
use vodka around the holidays!  ☺
