I'm just starting to fix up and restore a very fine old paper tape
reader, a GNT 4104. It's a photoelectric model and can go up to
1000 characters per second. It was originally used on a CTL Modular
One, and has the CTL logo and "1.32" designation.
Next, I'll have a look at the Facit 4070 paper tape punch. This seems
to be a common model, and there's interfacing info available on the
web. I also have a supply of blank paper tape!
What I need is a recommendation for finding teletype oil, or
something similar to lubricate the mechanical parts of these
machines. The oil on the machines at the moment seems to have
got very sticky, and nothing moves freely any more.
Oh, and I do have manuals for both of these machines.
