Punched paper tape for reperforators

Ribbons

All the mechanical Teletype machines use the same Underwood typewriter ribbons. These are available as Nukote B76 ribbons.

Oil

We recommend 5W-20 synthetic motor oil as a Teletype lubricant. A low-viscosity oil which will not leave a gunky residue is necessary. (WD-40 will not work.) Any large auto parts store will have a suitable synthetic oil.

Grease

Lucas Red-n-Tacky Grease is useful on open gearing, as it will resist being thrown off by centrifugal force as the gears spin. Available from Amazon or larger auto parts stores.

White lithium grease is appropriate for sliding components where Teletype's lubrication instructions recommend "oil, grease, oil". This heavy, tacky grease is for gears only.
