Desolderd 100 something vintage blacks, de-dioded them, and then cleaned them in iso alcohol, and they are currently drying.
hey! i did that all day myself.
except i also did 100+ clicky whites, and 100+ browns, along with the vintage black although that is like 200.
also spent a large portion of my day dremeling a new plate...

I know that feeling. I once did around the same amount, but they were all vintage blacks. I was also going to dremel a plate so it would fit, but I couldn't find the dremel. I wish I had 100 clicky whites to desolder, what board did you get them from>
I got them from a very old cherry lug-able computer, from 1980.
they are quite nice, I will be saving them for a special project.
I also have a feeling that this lug-able computer is "pre" dolch...
I could be wrong, but it looks exactly like all the other dolch machines I've seen on ebay.
