[GreenKeys] 35-KSR Clean Up

[tony.podrasky]

Let's see if this gets thru:

I received the 35-KSR back on 28 Jan, and got
started cleaning up the bubble, dome, and upper
cover - and then I came down with a cold that just
made me feel so worn-out that I didn't even want to
even look at my new toy.

I'm feeling a bit better, and today my wife said:
"why don't you bring the Teletype machine into the
living room so you can work on it in here, where it's
nice and warm - instead of out in the garage?".

I thought about it for a few minutes - then I set up
a card table by my computer, covered it with a plastic
bag, and then went out to the garage and got the typing unit
and set it up. In about 1 1/2 hours I got the left side clean,
and began on the inside part of the front. The machine
must have been recently PM'd before being taken out of
service - because it is well lubricated. Most of the
junk is from the deterioration of the noise quieting foam
that turned to dust. I'll make sure I take a picture of the
keyboard/base before I start cleaning it up. Also, it may
not be as bad as having a chad perf - but there are a lot
of "holes" from the sprocket feed paper - all over the place.

I know it came from ADP, and I can't see it being used to
print checks - but when I took out the type-box and stuck it
in a pan of alcohol, and let it sit for 2 hours, and then took
a toothbrush to it, well all I can say is the "." "," and "$"
and caked-up more than any other characters.
