Hi Claus,
the keyboard is ugly
I got one in for repair that looked a lot like that :

As you'll know, to get the metal plate cleaned up properly would really require that all the keys were unsoldered from the PCB, which is not really practical. I was able to clean most of the rust off from the front side (leaving a few scratches along the way). Access is easier if you take the assembly out of the upper part of the shell.
Most of the keyswitches were OK, but I did need to change a few of them. Hopefully, your keys will be OK
regards
Dave
