Oh yeah! I forgot - I zinc electroplated the bare metal area for the ground wire too. ^_^

Beautifully restored.  Major props to someone with a passion for revitalizing the neglected.

Awesome work  :thumb:

These + unicomps new colored legend keycaps would be awesome. I have been wanting to get a model f and do this for a while, maybe once I finish my kishsaver.

Thanks everybody!
I almost don't want my little orphans leave the nest... :P

Awesome work  :thumb:

I've been contemplating those keycaps. I think I'm going to place an order soon and play around with 'em.
(Also really want to pick up a brand new Unicomp board so I can tear it apart and see what they're doing nowadays... :D)

Wow I didn't realize how bad they really were when you got them...nice job :D.

Yeeeeah, they were rather nasty little things. I still have a few in similar condition, but these were by far the worst. I was so excited the first time I gently opened them. I didn't even want to disturb the filth until I had photos. :P

A+++. Will these be for sale on your website anytime soon?

Thanks! And yup! Well, unless they sell before I get a chance to actually put them up officially. There's technically just two left at the moment (yellow and green) and the orange is sort of pending at the moment.

So if you want one, claim it before someone else does. :P

Man, those look fantastic.  Glad I didn't catch that purple one sooner or I'd be out some cash.
