You'll notice he's dodging the question. Sign of a true addict. :lol: As if I should really talk, with 30-some IBM boards myself. :o

AAAAAAAAARRRGH! IT'S MELLLLLLLLLLLTING!

It really looks interesting in real...

I used the same stuff like in the first attempt. But instead of leaving it open in the barn, I wrapped it in cling film and put it on the heating. (found that tipp on the internet) And now it works ten times better.

On the first attempt, nearly nothing from the paint came off. And I even left the paint remover over night on it.

Now my complete apartment smells like paint remover, but was worth it... :-D

Was there an attempt in the past to recreate those little plastic things that stick on the plate and hold the spacebar stabilizer wire?

Sadly one of them is destroyed.

Btw, where's tinnie?

Hong Kong. Says it all!

I have a snapped spacebar stab too. Fortunately, Wcass figured out a way…

So three of the Seven you got from Tinnie were for yourself? Nice deal ;)

If I had any more dough, I would have tried to grab a second for myself. But three is clearly hoarding!

Impressive. What's the magic ingredient?

After unwrapping it, it only took 1min to get to this.

No special ingredients. Just a bit of heat, cling film and some german paint remover. :-D
