Yes...Most EPROM erasers have that black static-dissipative foam in
them to stick the chips in, and it will disintegrate and turn into a
huge mess when it gets old. If you buy an older one, you might be in
for some cleaning.
And every eraser I've seen on a professional's bench had either bare
metal or a sheet of mylar on the floor.
I just got a Data IO 29B from a friend, so I asked the guys at MC
Howard where to get a good cheap eraser. Mel just said "Barber Supply".
He says for hobby work, the barbers' UV sterilizers work great.
