I’ll start things by showing off the keyboard I’m typing on!

I normally don’t get super picky when it comes to cleaning my personal keyboards – I feel like if I do, the next day I’ll go off and spill coffee all over it… I guess I save my OCD for other peoples boards. Anyhoo, I wanted to give this board some special attention. She’s a white label from August of 1987.

I actually found this one by stepping on it.

Upside down, in a pile of broken glass and other assorted debris. I almost didn’t take it with me, but luckily I couldn’t help myself. 🙂

I love every little battle wound and scar. Each one is a reminder of how well made these boards are – as well as a reminder of where this perfectly functional keyboard would be if I hadn’t rescued and restored it.

A landfill.
