I recommend using Tribosys for lubricating keyswitches as well as the key stems. With the keyboard apart, I was able to easily apply the lubricant using a thin brush. #retrobrite #retrocomputing #appleextendedkeyboard #vintageapple #MARCHintosh
Here’s a direct comparison of the "before" and "after" so you can easily see the difference. #retrobrite #retrocomputing #appleextendedkeyboard #vintageapple #MARCHintosh

After a warm soap bath, the front plate is back on, with Apple logo.

The color is not *perfect*, but it’s so much better than it was before. #retrobrite #retrocomputing #appleextendedkeyboard

The spacebar is looking much better after an hour. Almost close to factory color. #retrobrite #retrocomputing #appleextendedkeyboard
Getting the spacebar as well. C’mon, Mr. Sun, do your magic. #retrobrite #retrocomputing #appleextendedkeyboard
Retrobritin’ my Apple Extended Keyboard this fine afternoon…. #retrobrite #retrocomputing #appleextendedkeyboard

Thanks to applying a firmware update on the Wombat ADB/USB connector, I am finally able to assign functionality to my Apple Extended Keyboard’s power button. It’s now my Mute key.

Win! :)
