[GreenKeys] Non-detergent oil for Teletype machines

[gil at baudot.net]

Hmm.  Pneumatic oil -- I never thought of that.  I've been using
3-in-one for the light stuff.
Both readily-available;  I wonder which is a better choice for longevity
and anti-gumming-uppedness?

When the little bottles that came with my air and brad nailers ran out,
I picked up a big bottle of no-brand pneumatic oil at Checker Auto for a
buck or two.  Home Depot or Lowes likely stock it from Senco,
Porter-Cable, Paslode, or others.

Has anyone tried it?
