I can't type on anything but a nice buckling spring Model M style keyboard. I have been using Focus 2001 keyboards since 95. I found this old one from 1997 and decided it needed cleaned up.

There is some drastic yellowing - I am getting the stuff to try my first Retrobrite this week.

Notice the age of this keyboard. AT lpug (will be changed to PS/2) and there is no Windows key!

A good scrubbing has removed all of this dirt from the keys (not shown).

Here you can see the drastic top side discoloration even after a good scrubbing.

All of the clean key caps have been removed and each row placed in a separate bag.

The feet are missing - I will have to make new ones

Each ALPS switch has been scrubbed and blown dry with compressed air.

A nice contact cleaner with residual lube will get sprayed into each switch before reassembly.

Hopefully I can secure all the necessary chemicals this week. If this turns out nicely, I have a 130XE, 520ST, and 1040ST to do next.
