[GreenKeys] my M32 ASR Teletype update

[Jeffrey Golas]

Ive used Wd40 to remove labels and residue then alcohol to clean up the wd40. 

One problem is you may have lighter sqaures where the stickers were after.

Can you take some good pics of the stickers before you remove them? For science?

Jeff
