A strange phenomena has occurred with a couple of my keyboards and a Wacom tablet during storage. In spots where the cable touched the plastic case, indentations were made. This seems to have happened during the course of a year or more.
It seems to be the result of some kind of slow chemical reaction between the rubber cable and the plastic. Thinking about how many vintage devices I've stored with the cables lazily wrapped around them is starting to make me nervous![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Has anyone else seen this?
