Just came across that and it looked interesting.


Dean- I know you recently got a nice one, and I just got a nice Selectric II
(thanks DaveR) - but mine needs some cleaning. It powers on but random ghost
keypresses ensue and it's either in need of contact cleaning or it's haunted
and warning me to get out of my house...

Anyone have some good leads on resources they can share to clean and lube up
these guys?
