Help needed fixing my Commodore 128DCR keyboard
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The other day I was rearranging some of my collection and I dropped the keyboard for my Commodore 128 DCR about 3 ft onto a concrete floor. I really wasn't expecting the plastic case to shatter like it did. It didn't actually break into many different pieces because all of the little shards are being held together by the outermost layer of the casing. The keyboard itself still works. Can anyone recommends how I might go about repairing the case? I will share some photos either later today or tomorrow. Keyboard is also in severe need of retrobrite treatment. Thanks and happy holidays! Joe Giliberti
Retrobrite first then epoxy or superglue? I use painter's tape to hold glued pieces in place while the dry. Worked for Teletype cover shell that I once restored. B On Thu, Nov 24, 2022, 9:50 AM Joseph Giliberti via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
