This was my very first computer. My wife made me give it away in the mid-90s but I had it from the early 80s and used it all the way through the early 90s (straight through college!). I had to rebuild several cables and keep it dusted, but it never failed me. In a way, I miss it, but there have been so many other, better machines in my life since then that I can't be too sad. Thanks for doing this work. It pleased me to see it.

What happened to your keys is the original outer gloss/protective layer of the keys was removed in the retrobrite which led to exposed raw plastic being exposed to air, so the exposed underplastic oxidized. It usually can be neutralized/prevented by giving the keys/plastic a nice alcohol wash after the retrobrite then immediately rub some petroleum jelly or soak in some mineral oil for a while to allow the exposed raw plastic to absorb some of the oil. So you may want to attempt retrobriting a key for a short time just to remove the marbled pattern, then quickly give a alcohol bath, and immediately coat in petroleum jelly or dip into mineral oil for a good 15-30 min, then you should be good to go..

I think I may know a fix for the marbled Keyboard. I don't know if it's for the same reasons but sometimes I see such discoloration on plastic inside my car after some rain drops fall on it through the open window as well as on the bottom of my air washer. The fix for that is Petroleum Jelly or Mineral oil. After applying some to the discolorated area and then wiping off the excess[the plastic appears to absorb it so the surface is not sticky even without washing, which could cause it to discolor again] the white color fades and the plastic is back to normal. You could try it on one key, and if it doesn't work you can just wipe and wash it off. tl;dr Try to coat the keys with Petroleum Jelly or mineral oil.

That is my guess as well. In fact I would put any retro-plastic in mineral oil and leave it out in the same temperature as when it was retro-brighted. He didn't notice it when he first took it off, because it was wet. The water filled in the rough surface of the oxidation. The oil once worked in under heat will do the same, but will not evaporate.

Well, it isn't smoke from a fire. What happens is the electrolytic filter capacitors in the power supply develop cracks in them over time which lets moisture in. When enough moisture gets in and current is applied they burst apart and release the magic smoke. No fire is involved and it is an very easy fix.

On using the White Lithium Grease, thats a metal-on-metal lubricant, and I would definitely go out of my way to avoid using that on plastics, especially older plastics. WLG is going to use a combination of mineral oil and paraffin as its lubricant base, and who knows what else, and it can react with and degrade plastics. Its also not the most stable of greases, and the lubricants can separate from the lithium thickener after not too long, which just leaves things messy. For plastics I recommend sticking with silicone greases. I'm not sure the best spray silicone, but I've had good success with the only one I've tried, WD-40 brand. The best silicone grease I know of is 'Super Lube Silicone Lubricating Compound', and I would highly recommend that as your primary plastics lubricant. Its also waterproof, dielectric, and its still appropriate for low pressure metal on metal applications.

I had a similar thing happen with some old calculator keys when retrobrighting. I found that the best way to get the streaks out is to let the plastic "eat" some oil. Wd-40 soaking was the best thing i found. It seems that the plastic gets dry when bleaching and needs to connect with it's petrolium roots to even out the color.

I'm suspecting what happened to the keys was that the difference in contact with the wrap made some parts have more hydrogen peroxide on them, which led to some reaction with the plastic. The same thing happened with the cover, but it was far less noticeable as the cover, being a plain big piece of plastic, is a lot easier to even the contact of the wrap, opposite to the keys which are small pieces of plastic spread out. I suspect the temperature outside had to do with it as well, as apparently those marks appeared when they started to get colder.

That "marble" pattern is very similar to the results I got with my yellowed Super Famicom (I used your method)... I think it has something to do with the heat: As the hydrogen peroxide begins to evaporate, it begins to "bleach" the plastic (parts become too white), making that bizarre effect. That's why I would avoid retrobrighting when it's too hot. (the super famicom was my first attempt, and since then I didn't really need yet to retrobright stuff so this last part is just a guess)

I recall when Adam Osborne was on the KCBS radio 740 AM afternoon talk show, San Francisco, when he was asked if computers would ever be developed with the ease of use for the general population. His answer, to paraphrase: 'Yes, computers will get easier for people to use. Remember back in the early days of the automobile, where the car owner had to have mechanical know-how to keep the car running on a daily basis. Nowadays, cars can be reliably driven for thousands of miles, by people whom have no mechanical knowledge of automotive upkeep and repairs. There will be a time when computers will be comparable to modern cars with the ease of use.' Adam Osborne was proved right!

Two reasons why you ended up with marbled finish: 1. Finger grease affects how well bleach works on the plastic - clean surfaces with alcohol to remove finger grease before applying bleach. 2. Some plastic are porous - and the bleach gets in there and continues to work even after you rinse it. To avoid that, rinse then keep submerged in water for some time until all the bleach is diluted and pulled away from the surface. Good luck - really interesting project.

I would use Novus #2 on those keys; there's a good chance it would make them an even color again, plus it's good to use on anything plastic anyway, as it gives it some protection and also repels dust somewhat.

I think you'd be better off just putting keys in a bowl of hydrogen peroxide liquid rather than in paste form. Maybe that would avoid the colour damage seen here.

Can't wait for part 2! This is one of the few retro computers between yours and LGR's channel I've actually seen. I knew a guy who owned 2 of these, and only one worked. He said it took 20 minutes to boot, but I think he was just pulling my leg.
