I'm facing a similar problem. The rubber feets of some of my
DECstations and VAXstations got somewhat "fluid" and rinsed
down as a
sticky, black drop. Very nasty stuff :(
Any idea how to solve that sticky stuff away?
The printer platten roller in my HP9820 turned to a sticky
black goo and dripped (litereally_ onto the printer driver
PCB. I cleaned it up using propan-2-ol (not very effective),
lighter fluid (naphtha, rather more
effetive) and a lot of elbow grease. It wasn't perfect at the
end, but it was a lot betterm good enough to let me replace
the roller and get the printer prining again.

I'm using silicone degreaser, it's a special degreaser you use before you're
goint to spray paint to remove solicone's and other grease frations.
It's very effective.
