Good question,
french dressing, nah - lol
belt dressing - not sure if it even softens the belt
but it does swell the belt.
armor all - may work - might soften the platen - but
it leaves a very slick coating - i wonder if the paper
will stay in one place as the platen moves.
the type "ball" hammer also has a rubber "button" that
slips over it - i know those and the platen were once
replacable - try a search for "teletype" on the web.
i know the nadcomm meseum
http://www.nadcomm.com/ has
a link for teletype paper tape and paper on it.
the nadcomm page links are near the bottom under the
heading "Teletypewriter Supplies"

I would try 'rubber renue' from M.G. Chemicals. Ben.
