Retr0brighting my C128D

First i clean my beloved C128D in the dishwasher. 35 degrees Celsius, no soap and no drying program. Retrobright a Commodore 128D in 12,5% H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide).

After replacing the sound chip and the R65C22P2 DIP 40 Versatile Interface Adapter and realigning the Floppy head it finally worked. To bad i did not retrobright the bottom part. But now you can see the difference.
