Thsi may not be the place to poste this, but I have a 10 year or so old Peterson VS-II strobe tuner.
The Blue Outer cover that I think is made of hard Rubber had become sorta "Sticky".
It has NOT had anything spilled on it.
It was in storage for 6-7 years as I was out of music for a time.
It was in my climater controlled basement in tote so it hasn't been HOT or COLD.
I've cleaned it with several things and can find no apparent residue.
It's like the rubber has degraged or something and it's sticky to the touch..
Anybody else seen this kind of thing ??
Any suggestions as to what I can do to clean / restore it ??
Thanks,

Hi Kevin;
If no one comes up with an answer for you -
my suggestion would be to contact Sue at Peterson & she can probably help you out.
She is VERY customer/service orientated & will go above & beyond to get it fixed for you.
Maybe someone else has had this happen before?
I have not heard of this happening.

Sounds like, for some reason, the chemical that makes the cover "rubbery" came to the surface. Hopefully, Petersons can help you. If not, get some talcum powder from the drug store and rub the sticky parts with the powder. Should get rid of the sticky.
