[TenTec] OT: Bug maintenance

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

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?
