[GreenKeys] Sticker removal from 33 cover

[Pete Lancashire]

My call is your paper sticker is  a gum/latex rubber based adhesive. To
avoid potential damage of discoloration
first just try placeing a sponge soaked in water on the label, if that does
not work then put the right side (to protect
damaging the Teletype logo) in warm water. Should fit in the kitchen sink
:-). If that does not work  move up to
vegetable oil. The idea is to penetrate the paper and then soften up the
adhesive. Sometimes for me it has taken
an hour and depending on how much water penetrates the paper you may have
to repeat removing-soaking.

Anything else, do a test on the inside of the cover first.
