The standard tty field strip and clean technique was to immerse
in a tub of solvent for a time. Keep the magnet coils dry.
Then lube per TM-xxxx (forget which it is now). If it is
an -33, they don't take kindly to such practices. They are
only second class ttys. 15's, 19's, 28's, 37's etc do.
When was the last time any of us actually rebuilt a tty?
The last time I did it was about '79 or '80 on a M19, the
M37, and a Mite. Those Mites were strange little critters
but would fit neatly in a relay rack stack.
