This coming summer, I will be doing a Retr0Bright treatment on my Macintosh Classic and Plus, including keyboard/mouse. I've got a few questions on methods, so I can end up with the best possible results.
-Should I remove the little apple emblem on the front? If so, how do I re-attach it when finished.
-Is the original color really nearly white, because after looking at an even slightly yellowed case, it doesn't look right... Looks too "bright"
-What's the best method for cleaning/whitening/Retr0Bright-ing the Plus's keyboard and the ADB keyboard/mouse for the classic. Should the keys be removed? What's the best way to do this.
-Removing internals... Insulated screwdriver+alligator clips to discharge the CRTs, and then disassemble it, correct?
-The plus has a 20SC hard drive, which definitely needs Retr0Bright. Briefly looking it over, it doesn't look straightforward to disassemble, am I missing something?
I think those are all the questions I have right now. If there's any other tips or information, I'd love to know that too. As I slowly build a collection, my plan is to have each item look, function, and feel brand new.
