[GreenKeys] Best Way to Clean Model 15 Slugs

[Tom Hunter]

I keep alcohol handy in spray bottles and spray the toothbrush rather than
the type slugs. Then scrub and scrub! clean with a paper towel and spray
and scrub some more. It is very nice to see the the solid black A's, R's
and O's go away.

Here is where I heard about Simple Green:

I had a moldy ribbon spool and left in in the simple green for a couple
days to clean.  It took most of the paint off. I was repainting a green
16-jack, jack panel at the time so I sprayed the spool. One of my Teletypes
now has one green spool on it!

I bought a Harbor Freight parts washer for my Simple Green. I can also
spray an especially dirty area with the pump nozzle. But no selector
magnets and no motors! (See the above link.)

I now also have a Harbor Freight Ultrasonic cleaner. I have not used it for
(small) Teletype parts yet, but I am sure I will.

Thanks to one-man-webhoster, Virgil Bierschwale N5IVV (vbiersch at gmail.com),
I hope to have my website back up at n3crk.com in a couple weeks. It is not
fancy. I write HTML by hand.
