[Electronics-Talk] Cleaning an old Victor Stream

[evelyn weckerly]

Dave and all,

I've always been told to never use rubbing alcohol on 
electronics.  Use isopropol (spelling).  It is almost 100% 
alcohol.  Robbing alcohol has a lot of water in it plus other 
stuff not good for electronics.

You could use rubbing alcohol, or a cleaner like Formula 409 or 
windex, but not much.  I would put it on a cloth  first, then rub 
the keypad.  You will probably loose the printed stuff on the 
keys etc., but it is probably wearing off anyway.

Just be careful with moisture on the keypad.  If it gets inside, 
Humanware may not repair, and if under warranty, can cause 
problems.

unfortunately, when rubbery stuff gets sticky, I don't know that 
there is anything that can be done about it.  It is more than 
likely, the rubber product deteriorating.  Most rubber is some 
kind of plastic now, anyway, and plastic can also deteriorate.

Does anyone know how to clean around the keypad on a Victor 
Stream?  I have an old one I haven't used for a while, and the 
rubber around the keypad has gotten very sticky.  Careful use of 
a damp sponge did not do the trick.

Thanks.

Tracy
