Hi all
after moving to my new house (more than 1 year) finally I am cleaning / =
recalibrating / overhauling my machines in order to tweak their knobs =
again=E2=80=A6
I have noticed that some stuff, after more than 40 years, is going to =
age, as I am   :-(
In particular, plastic and rubber  seem to be very prone to some =
problems:=20
- the soft original case of my TB303 has an oily, somewhat sticky =
surface, although maintaining its colors and shape.=20
- some of my Moog modulars=E2=80=99 cables (the original s-trigger ones) =
have a short collar of black rubber around the cable at the level of the =
metal screwed =E2=80=9Ctie=E2=80=9D locking it to the Chinch Jones Jack. =
Such collars are melting, leaving a black sticky stain that is very hard =
to remove
Any suggestion?

Ciao
