[GreenKeys] "Patina" aka Greasy grunge

[Joe Duszyński]

Had cleaned most of the machine (a WU 100 Series) and while working on the
keyboard I realized I did not take a "Before" photo of the greasy mess
going on with this machine....

But this halfway of the keyboard being cleaned, which was all I had left to
do on the machine will give you an Idea of how nasty it was.....

A box of Q-Tips and pint of acetone later....

Don't know what grease WU used on this but it left a waxy sticky
brownish/black gooey haze on everything (probably some nicotine residue
from a zillion ciggies too!)
I started out with alcohol but it just wasn't cutting it then switched to
Acetone as there was not any plastic on this machine to worry about and
took that layer of crud off like magic.
