While out in Idaho picking up a PDP-11/83 I also managed to pick up a
working LA-100 at a government surplus place. It had a piece of duct
tape stuck to the clear plastic cover with the word "Spare" written on
it. Anyone know of a good way to remove the remaining duct tape residue
from the cover?

Try "Goo Gone" or "Goof Off".

You can even use something more gentle like corn oil.

Goo Gone would probably be effective. Just make sure that it doesn't
discolor the plastic before you slather it all over the residue.

Better yet, apply some to a cloth first, then apply the cloth to the
target goo.

Depending on what type of plastic the cover is made of, WD-40 might
work....
