removing green gook Re: Various problems

I had written.... Let me rephrase that.... Caig ProGold and a Toothbrush. Best thing out there. By the way... Caig ProGold seems very expensive for the quantity you get. However, be aware that one very small spray can (about 4.5 inches tall and 2 inches diameter roughly) lasted me several years with fairly frequent use. The stuff goes a long way - apply VERY sparingly. For edge card cleaning/protecting, I can't imagine using the liquid. Get the spray can. GooGone is another absolute requirement for me. Nothing like it to take off labels, tape residue, adhesive gunk, etc. It's also good for taking off the adhesive left behind from foam that had an adhesive backing but has now disintigrated. Some GooGone, 10 minutes soaking, and a putty knife and it's gone. And lastly, one fairly new thing I will never be without for cleaning up old systems - Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They don't last long at all... one or two uses. But MAN do they give good results. They can make the edges of a dark orange pdp11 H960 filler panel cream colored again. And they can make a cream colored pdp11 H960 filler panel edges white again. In some cases it takes a lot of elbow grease, but they are great on nonsmooth surfaces. A perfect use - taking magicmarker off sidepanels or frontpanels, terminals, etc. Jay
