Wow, that looks nice and clean inside, and the wires and cable don't look brittle like they are about to turn to dust.

Usually moisture and repeated firm rubbing do the trick (lick your finger and wipe that sucker down,) but that tends to work less well for marks that have been on for a long time. I'd suggest rubbing alcohol, but I'm not at all sure what that'd do to the plastic...

There are a few vids on youtube about removing Sharpie ink.

My suggestion is to replace the spacebar then leave it alone.

I always keep customisations like that as is on all my stuff.

What the...

Can we see that 1084?:blink:

Picked up a C128 D with a Commodore 1901 monitor locally, system was very dirty (pics 1,2 and3) and asn't been used for some large years so it was in an unknown working condition. Dismantled it and put tha plastics on the washing machine, cleaned the mobo and psu, checked for corrosion (luckilly none was found :p). Next day assembled the machine and fingers crossed powered it up :thumbsup: it's working nice, some pics of C128 and C64 mode (don't have any 5 1/4 floppy's to test the drive).

Just need to find the drive lock plastic handle and do some retrobright on the keyboard!

Monitor will have to be cleaned up before i dare power it up.
