Cleaning up the basement and rediscovered the triplets.

[Cam]

So I cleaned up some boxes in the basement, an look what I found.
Stil MIA is the keyboard, and the power adapters, but otherwise complete. Anyone have a solution for the sticky feeling that's built up over the years? I'm guessing it's from the degradation of the rubber coating.

I aqcuired not too long ago some boxed G3 iMacs and with them an accessories box with a hockeypuck mouse that had gone sticky. Isopropyl alcohol was able to clean it up.

Conversely though, I tried rubbing alcohol on the rubber grip of an old digital camera and it  turned sticky, albeit temporarily (thankfully).

I can vouch for the use of isopropyl alcohol to help remove most of the stickiness from those Newton cases. It works 90% of time, based on my experience.

If you can’t locate the keyboard or power adapters, let me know. I have a number of spares that I can send to a new home for a decent price.

Also, what’s up with the screen on that OMP/MP100?

Is that a crack or a reflection?

Yes wiping down rubberised plastic like this will only make it "more sticky", I find sometimes some use of the devices make them more tolerable, like a bit of oil and dust settles things

Just a reflection.
