Funny you should mention this, but I did have some 90 minute IPA celebrate afterwards!

Thanks everyone, I ended up washing and scrubbing it with mild detergent, then rinsing with distilled water, drying for two days, then finishing with IPA. For next time, I also bought CO Contact cleaner.

Yeah, it actually works, just nasty... In my many years of playing with old computers, I've never seen anything like it. Had my fair share of bugs, dust, etc., but not intentional coating of sticky stuff...

I have received a computer MB that was, according to the previous owner, treated with a "rust inhibitor". It looks like and feels like oil. It's coated in it.

Looking to quiet down my new TL/2. Are there any popular, quiet drop-ins for the PS? Alternatively, any Noctua fans that fit? Thanks!

I'm really interested in playing more with the Tandy graphics and sound. I had a 1000HX before, but the all-in-one and keyboard layout drove me nuts. What is considered to be the best model for that era? I'm looking at TL/2 or TL/3, as they have a bit more power with 80286 and the 640x200x16...
