I?m trying to determine if I can revive the VAXstation

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
assuming probably made a mess on the disk enclosure for my VAXstation
3100 that it was on top of.
I always use IPA with this stuff, as I did with my VAXstation 4000/90
which suffered from this very problem many years ago. I tend to use 3M
replacement feet then, some of which I've had for 20+ years now with no
sign of deterioration so far, longer than the original DEC feet survived.
I'd have to look up the P/N though as I don't have it handy.
