let's get this boy cleaned up nice and spiffy

This poor kid has seen better days but we about to change that up lickety split!

Battery compartment not too bad with very minimal corrosion on the contacts so now let's crack this mofo open...may the force be with me!

CHEESE AND SPRINKLES!!! you seeing this??!! i noticed before opening that the buttons were sticking so we can see why. i don't really wanna guess what all the gunk this and it's all kinds of gross but we must stay the course.

all of the inside is a hell of a mess but luckily both of the pcb's seem to have avoided any of the filth and just need a rub down with some alcohol.

SFW BATH TIME! we throwing in all the plastics and giving them all a good scrub down.

now we putting the contacts in some vinegar to help give them a shine and remove any corrosion.

don't forget about the speaker

looking MUCH better after the wash

now we all cleaned up and ready to bring it back to it's original color

using some retrobright and letting it bake in the sun for a few hours

while the shell is baking we can now throw in a white backlight, bivert chip plus new buttons and a glass screen cover to finish it off.

battery contacts are now clean AF

BABY GOT BACK!

mission complete! thanks for tuning in and see ya space cowboy...
