Title: [SORTED] OG Cherry set
Post by: phinix on Tue, 18 June 2019, 15:16:11
SORTED


Is it hard nowadays to get this old school doubleshot Cherry set?

I have a moogle kit, just after an original set, like with 1.5u mods and 7u spacebar etc...

Caps arrived, looking good.
One thing - some of them are really yellowed - I wonder if I should wash them in 12% oxygen peroxide?

Look up "retro bright" process. Basically hair bleach and sunlight.

Yeah, few years ago I used Oxygen peroxide 12% for retro PC case front panel.
6 hours on sun and it was all nice and clean.

I hope I could do same with these caps - it shouldn't damage the plastic right?

Success! :D
I put all caps in the 12% oxygen peroxide and put it out on sun for 4 hours.
They came out nice and clean, like 20-odd years ago.

Oh, fancy seeing you here  :D
Have been watching your Youtube vids for a few days.

I love the legend quality on OG Cherry  keycap sets. There is a set called KA1953 which is the same as the original Cherry doubleshot on Taobao. It is GMK Classic Retro.
