Found a trick for cleaning those old green Alps switches
Last week I was restoring a 1984 Apple Keyboard II and the switches felt all gritty. I've been using compressed air and contact cleaner for years but this time I tried something different. I took a ziplock bag and put the switches with some isopropyl alcohol and rice, shook it for about 2 minutes. It actually got all the crud out without damaging anything, now they click like new. Has anyone else tried weird methods to clean crusty switches?
