That was amazing, I thought that you would have gotten some goodies out of that old keyboard. Well can't win them all. Great video and can't wait to see what you are going to do with that yellow phone. As always stay safe my friend and may God bless you and all that you do in life. See you on the next video.

You can even sell the keycaps if you have a damaged keyboard you're scrapping, rather than tossing them out. For future reference, good condition keyboards of that model can sell for $40 - $75.

@scrapitall200 4 ай бұрын

I actually still have the original keyboard to the color classic I bought many years ago. I won’t ever scrap that one, in almost perfect condition.

@stickyfox 2 ай бұрын

I don't even try these keyboards anymore. I throw them right out, because I've never gotten a good one. They went bad in the 90s! The full-size ones are a lot more reliable if a little less cool-looking.

Hot sand is the quick easy way to depopulate any soldered board. Get all the solder hot at once then pop it on it's edge and everything pretty much falls off
