Keycaps for Teletype Model 15

Restoring My Vintage Teletype Model 15 Was a Labor of Love That Took Up a Lot of Time. First Things First, I Had to Give the Old Girl a Thorough Cleaning to Get Rid of All the Dust and Grime That Had Built Up Over Six Decades. Next, I Degummed and Lubricated Every Moving Part to Ensure Smooth Operation. It Was a Delicate Process, but Totally Worth It - Check Out This Video for a Step-by-Step Guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IluJW71h6ow). After That, I Moved On to Painting the Cover a Fresh New Coat, Which Really Brought Out the Classic Look of My Trusty Teletype. But There Was Still One Thing Left to Do: Replace Those Two Missing Keycaps. Since I Couldn't Find Any Spare Parts, I Had to Get Creative and Use My 3D Printer to Whip Up Some Custom Caps That Matched the Originals Perfectly.
