On inspecting the MPF-II's box, I'm guessing

since 1985 as a lot of the internal walls have reacted badly with the PVC
cables, some of them have been eaten through. What plastic can I wrap the
cables in to avoid any more damage? Polythene wrap?
I received a BBC Micro Teletext Adaptor from a friend, and she'd
wrapped the mains lead in a small plastic bag. It was the "crinkly"
type of plastic, not polythene, as used for the very small type of
bag for shopping (about A5 size). This bag had prevented the
cable from sticking to the polystyrene.
