QUICKFIX: Refurbishing an Apple A1048 Keyboard

I've been working permanently at home since the start 2022, but I'm still using a portable Bluetooth Windows keyboard on a Mac... I think it's time to get a proper wired Apple keyboard for not much cash (free really)... but it's in a state and really needs a clean-up! This is the first video where I wrote and performed all of the music.
All of the music in this video was written, performed and produced by John Gardner.
