Dear Patreons of a certain level!

Here's a video that leads on from the Atari 800XL Extreme Refurb, after which a lot of people asked, "What about those yellow keys?"

Retrobriting yellow lettering on old retro keyboards usually involves removing all the keys with a keycap puller, and in some cases desoldering the shift lock key. I wanted to test whether it was possible to get a similar effect by cheating a little. Let's find out! 

Let me know what you think in the comments! I'm always open to making changes before the video goes public in a day or three...

Also, please join me in welcoming all the new Patreons, and thank you all so much for your support!

Your friend in retro,
Chris aka Թҽɾíƒɾɑϲtíϲ

Retrobrite Keys Without The Hassle? - Atari 800XL/Commodore 64 {appetizer}

🙏 BECOME A PATREON NOW: http://patreon.com/perifractic 🍟 ON TODAY'S MENU: A follow up to the Atari 800XL video – Retrobriting yellow lettering on old retro computer keyboards usually involves removing all the keys with a keycap puller, and in some cases desoldering the shift lock key. I wanted to test whether it was possible to get a similar effect by cheating a little. Let's find out! Let me know what you think in the comments! ⚠️ Obligatory disclaimer: Don't try this at home. Try it at work instead. Seriously, I am not responsible if this doesn't work for you. Frankly I'm irresponsible altogether 😉 BTW, don't leave the cream on too long and monitor regularly. Those brown keys could turn at any moment. 🔔 Please LIKE & SUBSCRIBE! SHARE (Reddit is a great place to start)! Click that bell for new videos!
