          <p class="MsoNormal">Hi list,<br>
            this is my first post here although i'm lurking for years.
            Don' t know if it' s of any interest but i had a real
            breakthrough in cleaning disgusting sticky rubber. It was so
            bad on my moog sub 37 that when i touched a wheel and then
            the keyboard again, i got stuck on the key and there was
            black residue on the (yellow tarnished, but thats another
            story) key.<br>
            <br>
            My solution is: a MICROFIBRE cleaning cloth (the thicker
            ones, noth the thin ones for glasses, displays etc) in
            Combination with 3 parts water and one part [vinegar acid
            25%] the vinegar concentrate is available in every
            supermarket here in europe. <br>
            <br>
            Just rub firmly and the goo goes away. The Wheels are like
            new. <br>
            Well, maybe they don't have the old rubber grip but they are
            more like soft plastic now, but don't slip under the finger.<br>
            <br>
            Also hat success in advance on my minibrute side panels, my
            midi contollers, and other sticky houshoule articles. The
            Cloth is lost i'm afraid, it doesn't seem to become clean
            after laundry.<br>
            <br>
            I'm sorry if that's already an old trick, but i was so
            amazed that i wanted to share it.<br>
            <br>
            All the best from Austria<br>
