I’ve used Orange based cleaners a lot in restoring old HP equipment. It does
affect some plastics -polystyrene in particular- but it’s not as harsh as Goo
Gone and should be wiped off quickly anyway.
It does not affect most other plastics in my experience.

That will dissolve plastics! Don't use orange based cleaners. I just use
normal 97% ethanol (called Spiritus here). That will work just fine.

I usually try the following commonly available chemicals listed in
increasing strength:
1) warm water with detergent on a microfibre cloth and some elbow grease
2) alcohol
3) lighter fluid or white spirit
4) acetone (apply carefully and quickly)
Acetone is really the last resort because it will r

Good advice, though oddly enough, this is grey, rather than the normal black.

That was my suspicion, of course that’s also what I know we have.

I use any of the 'Orange' based goo gone type cleaners for labels.
Be careful to have an absorbent tissue. Once the black goo has been
dissolved, mop it up quickly - otherwise in the next few weeks you will
find black smears everywhere wnd wonder where they came from.
Kindest regards,

Goo Gone is one option but may harm the plastic case.
Orange based cleaners are also good - the ones that remove stickers etc

Is there any recommended method for cleaning up melted “rubber” feet on a
plastic case?
I’m trying to determine if I can revive the VAXstation 4000/90 I received from
a list member, back around 1998 (it’s never worked). When I pulled it out, I
discovered that its feet have melted, and I’m assu
