Thanks again Garth! I never considered the handle as an ergonomic tool, but that makes a lot of sense now. Otherwise you are typing with your wrists perfectly straight and hovering lol.
I use an inverted glass partially filled with hydrogen peroxide to help weigh down the plastics during submersion retrobriting. Anyways, the end result is looking great!
That's actually an excellent suggestion and now I feel like an idiot for not considering it originally. Thank you lol. I will be trying this for my next project.

Yes you can, you just have to keep it warm. I retrobrighted my almost orange 2C using 12% peroxide and a plant propagating mat underneath the retrobrighting bath that kept the temperature at about 35C/95F. It takes longer (4 days in my case), but it does work.
I have an apple llgs that I am wanting to do this to but am scared to death of messing it up. Does everyone here think that submerging is a better method than painting the cream on? This seems easier to me. Also are you submerging in just hydrogen peroixide or a mixure? And also what does the uv light do? Sorry new at this kind of thing. thanks!
No worries! I chose to submerge because the cream can create streaks from a number of different ways. If it’s brushed on unevenly or the Saran Wrap is too thick in some places it can be bad. The UV is necessary to make the reaction happen and I used a mixture of peroxide and water! Hope that helps!
Hey there. I've inherited some old technology (8088 clone, commodore monitor, joystick, serial mouse and some fun extras. Do you know anyone collecting this stuff? It works perfectly and I would rather see someone use it vs scrapping it.
It came out beautifully! When you're using these, you flip the handle down to prop up the back for that sweet mid-eighties ergonomics 😀

nice handle
Thanks lol. It was rooooough at the start. I don't even know what the hell was going on there.
CCC videos are the highlight of my Saturday
Yeah bruhp!
You did an excellent job on this restoration! I think our singing helped. 🦆 *HONK*
YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB!
Good to see you got a handle on cleaning your handle. Another satisfying video. Thanks for the bonus ASMR.

Well done restoration! I wanted a IIc so much back in the day. *sigh*
Thanks James! I bought three of them with monitors for about $100 each three years ago. Nowadays they are going for seemingly quite a bit more.
Great video. I have an Apple IIc I need to do the same thing to, this is good motivation!
Thanks Rob! It's a super simple machine to work on. I say giver!
Very nice!! JavMaster would be proud
Hahaha. Thanks Rudy! It's not as fancy as retrobriting without disassembly, but it worked out none the less!

Is there a way to effectively retrobright something without the uv light setup? Such as just a basic bath wtihout the light setup?
I believe it's necessary as we are basically doing chemistry you can't remove an element and expect the same reaction.

Where are you located?

Why is it called project ketchup
Lol the original livestream was just me catching up on projects then starting the IIc. It's just a stupid play on words haha.
