A couple of decades ago, I got hold of a Teletype that sort of worked,
but was extremely unreliable. After studying that manual, and deciding
that the proper lubrication plan was too complex for my tastes, I just
turned the thing on with the top off, and emptied a spray can of CRC
5-56 into the mechanism while exercising the keyboard. It proceeded to
work well for my off-and-on use for several years after that.
