    Hi friends! Join me for a relaxing, soft-spoken cleaning and restoration of one of the greatest keyboards ever made: the legendary IBM Model M! This is the type of keyboard that I grew up with, and I was lucky enough to snag one in a lot of old electronics I picked up. It was pretty grimy to start with, but as you'll see over the course of this video, it cleaned up remarkably well! A huge thanks to this channel's FUS RO+ tier supporters on Patreon and CZcams memberships who voted for this as June 2023's Patrons' Pick/Members' Choice video!
    ASMR triggers include ear-to-ear soft speaking, incidental mouth sounds, clicking, close attention, and typing sounds. I recommend listening with headphones for the best experience! 🎧

    WHAT IS ASMR? 👨‍🏫
    ---------------------------------------------------
    My videos are designed to trigger a relaxing feeling called ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is a particular sensation that some people experience when they hear quiet sounds like whispering and soft speaking or watch certain actions like slow hand motions. ASMR is often described as a pleasant tingling on the head and neck, accompanied by a feeling of deep calm and mild euphoria. Many people watch ASMR videos to relax and manage anxiety, stress, or insomnia. To learn more about ASMR, check out asmruniversity.com/about-asmr....

    If I knew there was gonna be this type of hype over vintage keyboards. I would've kept my old 1994 one.

      Same 😂 It's tough, some vintage tech becomes highly desirable, while other stuff remains junk in the dust bin of history. I wish my parents had kept our old one, but alas!

    Wow.... Nostalgia! This was my 2nd keyboard. My first was part of our old H86 unit.
    Boy, I can almost hear the floppy drive whirring.
    Nice find!

    Unicomp did buy out the old machinery after IBM/Lexmark stopped making them, however their "New Model M" flagships use new machinery that produces higher quality parts that aren't affected by the issues the Lexmark machinery caused. Had a New Model M for about a year now, typing on one right now! In my opinion, it's a very good keyboard if you want a Model M feel and sound without hunting for a used one and/or want a smaller formfactor.

    They make these automotive reusable swabs, its a plastic stick with one smal flat rounded cottony tool and a bigger version. Used to get into fine nooks and crannies within your vehicle interior like air vents, those would have come in handy for this project of yours here.

    Bruh, I also have trouble with cutting out sudden sounds in my ASMR TwT I also use compressor, I've been hoping to find an alternative, maybe soon we'll have AI that can cut it out. But for now we'll have to painstakingly remove it by hand. OwO If I have a lot of sudden sounds I record the hand cam and my voice separately but that doubles the rec time. 😋 If I find an alternative I'll let you know to 😉 Also, another grate video as always ✨🍀🍄💚
