[GreenKeys] Minor problem with my Model 20

[Jim Haynes]

One man I knew, a professional freelance Teletype repairman, used
a soak in kerosene followed by standard oiling and greasing to
clean machines that had sat around for a while.  I don't know if
this was approved by Teletype.

My first TTY machine was a Model 15, which I put together essentially
out of parts, as Ray Morrison gave me a box containing a broken
machine and various loose parts.  I took it absolutely apart and
used Gunk and rust remover on it.  I'm sure that was not necessary,
and in fact I later learned from the manual that some things are
put together at the factory and are not meant to be taken apart in the
field.  But it did work fine.
