Josh Justice@blakespot oh! the 2000 i bought had exactly this problem. i've had very good success with mica powder, as advocated in this post: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/cleaning-up-the-basement-and-rediscovered-the-triplets.43698/#post-488606
Cleaning up the basement and rediscovered the triplets.
So I cleaned up some boxes in the basement, an look what I found. Stil MIA is the keyboard, and the power adapters, but otherwise complete. Anyone have a solution for the sticky feeling that's built up over the years? I'm guessing it's from the degradation of the rubber coating.
