[Coco] Korean Coco 2 question

[John Donaldson]

Way back when I had my COCO, someone told me about a liquid product that I could 
use to make contacts more secure. It basically put a thin film of gold on the 
contacts. I used it a lot on the Cart contacts. Most of these were Tin plated. 
You apply a coating, let it dry over night, then you could then re-insert the 
card or device. It would last a good long while, but would wear after a while 
and then I would re-apply a new coating. It was used mainly on PC's back in the 
days when you were constantly re-inserting plugin cards to get them to work due 
to the Tin plating on the contacts.

Jeremy, you can "pop" the keys off and soak them in a solution... possibly 
retrobright.
I pull my keyboards down and soak the keys (pc & Coco) in oxyclean quite often 
as I have a bad habit of dribbling coffee on them. I also clean any internal 
contacts (gently). The big thing is remembering where the keys go when I put 
them back on..... :-)

Thanks for the help everyone. Sounds like I’ll be ok with this machine. I don’t 
own a disk drive so that won’t matter and the drivewire that I do have is for 
the Coco 3. No this machine will be used for playing coco 2 cart games and so 
far everyone has worked fine so what I use it for, it’ll be a nice addition to 
the collection. More of an everyday machine for coco gaming, with that sexy 
yellow color, its not going in the display case anyway.

Wonder if I should spray paint it with Krylon fusion or try a retrobright 
solution? Of course those yellow keys will be a pain to brighten up, don’t know 
what to do to fix that. Yuck. 

Thanks again everyone!
