[GreenKeys] OT? Cats and Telexes

[til128 at juno.com]

I would like to recommend the following for rodent repellent.KSR & RO 2 in the top and 2 in the bottom. For ASRs, a couple more for good measure. https://tinyurl.com/y23tptma They have always worked well for me. No, not my company. :-)) TT

You know this reminds of a concern I have.
As one of those of a certain age, I suspect at some point storage will be in the future of my collection.
Are there recommended procedures for storing equipment.  
I'm thinking that one of the things that need to be done is to tape over any openings to keep critters out.  What would be the best kind of tape to use?  I can certainly not recommend common masking tape or duct tape after having to remove the same from other things over the years.  Gaffers tape seems to be designed to pull off clean, but I wonder about long term.  It's normally removed in the matter of days.

 It would be a good video to make of the cat sleeping on the machine and 
 it springing to life with a new incoming message.   I am somehow 
 envisioning "Claude the Cat" from the old WB cartoons ... ;)
