Claire: 1391472 SSK – August 3rd 1987

Sold.

She came from Planet Claire!

(I was listening to the B-52’s a lot while reconditioning this board.)

I replaced a handful of springs, the membrane assembly, and sanded/painted the back plate. A few keys were replaced before I got the board. The original keys are one-piece, but the replacements are two-piece. No big whoop.

Oh, and the labels. I re-created ’em in GIMP and laminated the originals.

The before pictures were taken in February of 2013 and I apologize for their largeness. Since then I’ve honed a few skills, tested a few theories, and custom made a tool or three.

I’m a little bit sad to part with this board – my personal SSK is this boards twin!

(This board’s new owner had better sell it back to me if they ever get tired of it… :P)

(Also, I have a set of triplets from ’92 that I haven’t gotten around to yet. MINE!!!)
