[GreenKeys] 35-KSR Clean Up

[Don Robert House]

Hi Tony,

I just sent you two M35 documents I spent all day scanning.
Also copied others on the NADCOMM list.

SAY there brother... Your wife said you could bring the
machine into the living room?

Holy cow... I need to trade wives with you for a couple
of months... TEE HEE.

I found another substance that eats the glue and foam
off the inside of the cover...  HEAVY DUTY CLEANER (CLEAR) for PVC Pipe.
Known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm.

Seems funny to me that all of these products that are labeled
about causing reproductive harm.  And yet California embraces
Marijuana which really does a great job of reproductive harm.
A good 85 percent of Americans don't even know it.

All for now.
Don

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.
