As promised: a complete deep clean of the late #70s #GeminiMicrocomputers parallel #keyboard by #Rotec. Everything disassembled, cleaned, lubed, rubber liners treated with silicone and brand new rubber feet installed. All keys are working, but some don't sit as well in their sockets as they used, so I expect the keys to stay in place if I hit someone with it! :D Also some electrical issues with scanning of the key matrix being incredibly slow - but it lives!! 🙂

And yeah, the "DISASSEMBLE FROM PCB SIDE" sticker was added by me. Taking this apart the wrong way will end in disaster. Learned that the hard way.

No spiders were hurt in this cleaning, although they had clearly taken up residency at some point.
