[GreenKeys] Ribbon rejuvenation and Irv Hoff

[Lawrence Godek]

In the July 1966 QST under Hints and Kinks is a suggestion for 
rejuvination for tty ribbons.

It sez, "When the ink in the ribbon becomes dry and can't transfer to 
the paper, I found that a few drops of glycerin will give the ribbon 
"new life." Leave the ribbon on the spool and apply the glycerin to the 
exposed surface of the ribbon.  Wrap the spool and ribbon tightly in 
aluminum foil and put it in a warm spot until the glycerin permeates the 
ribbon.  John L Kemp, WB8KML

Thot that might be of interest to the group or any of you who have a 
collection of dry ribbons. Wish i had found that article earlier when i 
had a box full of them.

On another note, a couple of issues of !ST in the same year had good 
multi page articles by Irv Hoff, W6FFC of filter design for RTTy.
