[rescue] Basement Cleaning

[Mike Loewen]

    Be aware that most unrestored Model 2 systems will require a complete 
keyboard rebuild.  The foam pads disintegrate, usually taking with it the 
metallic coating on the mylar discs.  Replacements can be fabricated with 
commonly available materials, but it can be time-consuming.
