Tricked a dead keyswitch back to life with a pencil eraser, but now I'm second-guessing it

Swore I'd never pull a cap with a soldering iron, then a dead F7 key on a Wyse terminal in Toledo changed my tune

Almost tossed a grimy IBM Model M from a garage sale in Dayton for $5, then a soak in denture tabs fixed 3 stuck keys

The repair shop on 5th had a bin of loose keycaps by the door and I dug through it for 20 minutes

Serious question, did recapping my Model M with new foam actually change the feel, or am I fooling myself?

TIL that checking key travel with a nickel beats eyeballing it, and I wish I'd started years ago

Pulled a Model M out of a guy's shed in Fresno and the keys went from crunchy to smooth in one afternoon of cleaning
