[GreenKeys] de-gumming a 33

[Robert Nickels]

I don't know much about teletype machines but I seem to constantly be 
cleaning oily greasy stuff, and can pass along a suggestion for a 
degreaser that I've found to be very effective.  I was looking for 
something to clean a gunked-up jukebox mechanism when I found this 
review of various industrial degreasers:

Based on its ranking in actual ASTM lab tests,  I decided to give the 
CRC Hydroforce a try, and ordered a gallon from an Amazon supplier as 
it's not available locally.   I used it as suggested by the juke guys, 
full-strength in a dollar store spray bottle and the results were almost 
too good to believe - the sticky dried-on grease just melted away.   A 
little scrubbing with a paintbrush in the worst areas followed by water 
rinse was all it took.   I've since used it on things likegrimy radios, 
gunky coiled mic cords, a nasty range hood, etc with similar success.   
It's non-haz, eco-friendly, and  a little goes a long way.     Just 
thought it might be of interest.  Of course you need to completely 
re-lube afterwards.
