[GreenKeys] my M32 ASR Teletype update

[John, W9DDD]

Hi Andy,

I use Goo Gone for that sticky stuff that remains after pulling paper 
labels off.    Goo Gone is if I remember correctly citrus based.  I 
don't have any direct experience using it on Teletype plastic.  Other 
plastic, yes without problem.


As for the metal tag, I know of no magic.  I'd see if a razor blade 
could get under any of the edges.  If there's any opening at all then a 
little pressure or a little Goo Gone to try and let it soak in?  This is 
all guess work on my part, but it's how I would proceed.
