I occasionally use a little DeoxIT on the contacts of my '56 Blue Racer.
However, I don't use any lubricants. A homebrew contact cleaner that a (now
SK) professional operator recommended was an old hacksaw blade that has been
smoothed. Works well. Also, newspaper strips work.

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?
