So I am going to do a full restoration on a Mac 128 I just got. I will be doing a complete analog board recap and servicing the drive. While I have it apart it makes sense to remove the horrid yellowing. I plan on using a 3% peroxide solution and immersing empty case, keyboard case and mouse case.
I know I need to remove the front apple logo, that's easy after I discharge the tube. I don't think I need to remove the plastic sticker on the back, but I'm concerned about the serial number sticker under the bottom of the front bezel being immersed. There is also a similar sticker on the mouse. Should I remove them since it will be immersed in peroxide? Will they survive? If not, can I simply use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat of the sticker and peel off? Some stickers are thermal sensitive.
Also what about the rubber feet? Should I remove them and re-attach when I'm done?
Thanks,
Corey
