[Electronics-Talk] Cleaning an old Victor Stream

[Dale HELTZER]

There are *tiny screws holding the case together. Without a jeweler's screwdriver, forget it. Disassemble/assemble at your own risk.
All the keys on the keypad are attached to each other in a grid and sit atop a board of micro-switches. The case front cover and the key grid can be cleaned separately, and of *course must be dried thoroughly. If you don't have experience with circuitboards, stay away from the electronics.

Hi,
I'm curious about this, too. I have several old first-generation Victors lying around my computer lab at work, and, with time, the plastic covers have all gotten that sticky, tacky feel. Like Tracy says, a damp cloth or sponge may clean off any dust or dirt, but the plastic remains tacky. I may try using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer but I have my doubts about whether that will work either. It may just be the nature of the beast.
