No lube. I've found that if I use only a new key for 30 days then I can
return to the first one and alternate with no trouble. If you would like my
handy dandy bug adjustment paper, say so.

T-T group,
I'm assuming there are a few Vibroplex bug users around here. Wondering
if
the pivot points of an old "Original" (non jeweled) should be lubed, or
would that just attract dirt or otherwise lead to problems? I see no sign
of
lubrication on this one.
I just picked up a 60 yo Original Standard and find it fun to use after
quite a bit of practice. A problem now is that my iambic timing seems to
have
gone to hell. Wonder if I'll be able to recover ??

PS Is there a list/reflector more suited a discussion
such as this?
