Vintage IBM Personal Computer Keyboard 1501100 - Disassembled And Cleaned Type 2

Vintage IBM Personal Computer PC Keyboard 1501100 - Disassembled and Cleaned.This keyboard was completely disassembled and cleaned and then reassembled. the metal plate behind the keys did show rust and signs of some corrosion but that was sanded off. I did not repaint the metal as I did not want to take away from the natural finish. There are some rust on the back seam which is also on the inside but there was no water damage at all to the circuit board. The circuit board was actually... in pristine condition but all layers of foam were taken off and everything wiped down before being reassembled. The feet on the bottom were replaced with foam pads as all four were missing. I cannot test the functionality of this keyboard as I did not have a compatible computer. The IBM personal computer badge does show some signs of corrosion underneath the clear protectorant on top. The last picture shows the keyboard before cleaning and you can see that there was one spill on the top which actually took off the gloss finish from that area. that is the only noticeable flaw on the top of the keyboard apart from two or three small nicks in the "1" key. Sold as is but these are built like a tank some more than likely it will still work just fine.
