I have not, but Lyle Peterson did a video on this (and several other
methods, See Part 1 and Part 2 of this video) on YouTube:

I have used plain distilled white vinegar on Teletype parts to good
effect.  It will remove surface staining quickly, but does nothing
(obviously) for pitting and damaged plating.  It is not fast.
