Hi Tommy, Always nice to see you work on old computers. I have the same. Its a way of life. Look up for more videos about you. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands.
I've used some of the same kind of 12% hairbleach stuff on an Amiga 600 keyboard and the keys came out all warped, so I don't dare use the stuff anymore - I live in Denmark and I can luckily buy 10% hydrogen peroxide at a local store. Even though the hairbleach is only 2% higher something went terribly wrong that day with my A600 keys, for some reason the regular 10% works best for me, maybe its the consistency, the 12% hairbleach is like shampoo while the 10% is like water.
I heard someone that used only one small 100ml bottle with 3% which you can get on the pharmacy. Mixed in 9L of water. With good result. Still, quite expensive here. www.apotek1.no/produkter/hydrogenper-naf-kons-t-gurg-3-293936p
As mentioned in the video. I also am amazed all the famous tubers nust have done the extra UV effort for nothing. But thank you very much for enlightening us, Tommy. This 128D came to shine pristine as after unpacking.
Prices for the 128d have unfortunately sky rocketed over the last 5 years, I would not have bought it knowing that just the keyboard in a very dirty condition sets you back 160 Euros alone....wow...

Good job cleaning up that 128 D Keyboard.

lol, I think a cat was the former owner of this keyboard. Never seen so much hair inside something. oven temp? How long in there? Nice restoration.
Thanks! 50 degrees (C) a couple of hours. Check regularly
