Bill,
A drop of sewing machine oil wouldn't be amiss. It will inhibit
corrosion on the little seen pivot and smooth up the action. That's all
I do to the 90+ Vibroplex keys in my collection.

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?
