I collect Rubik’s cubes (and similar puzzles/shapes) and knifes. Yeah it’s not something that everyone appreciates. Have fun with your collection! I am definitely impressed and would love to have a look at every one of them and your story about each one (when was it sold, for what occasion and how long and how many were produced etc)

This is my favourite bit;

"I figured that it was imperative that the dial actually work for numeric input - especially since I was planning to remove the number row as well, thus forcing the use of the rotary dial for numeric or symbolic entry."

You have to hold shift and turn the dial for symbols.

Dishsoap in the bathtub, gently scrubbing with a soft sponge. This got most of the skin oil and hot coco stains out. I did a second wash and let it soak in a detergent meant for antique textiles (I use for antique fabric, etc). A soak overnight got the rest of the coffee and curry stains out. Would likely work with the dish soap as well, but I wanted to try the textile soap. The curry stains appeared to remain a little when it was wet (likely oil), but can't be seen when dry.
