One of our volunteers at The Radio Technology Museum is a former Western 
Union guy who, not only, repaired these things, but also managed and 
trained repair technicians.  He's been keeping our Model 19 running for 
a while now, and has started in on a Model 15 that was found to be 
pretty gummed up. Wednesday, we dug into our storage area, and selected 
another 15.

Anyway, he tells me that, while we can probably keep things running by 
constant oiling, the real solution is to remove and overhaul the main 
shafts.   this was apparently know inside W.U. as "Job 9."

Our question is, where can we get new felt washers and the appropriate 
magic grease, to make the clutches work like new again?
