Hi Rich,
I am indeed English, but live not too far north from you (New Haven, CT). Thanks for the Goo
Gone tip, I had thought of it, but wasn't sure if it was safe to use on plastics. Do you have any
tips for cleaning the actual playing surfaces and the rubber sides of the pads? The old owner
didn't dust them in God knows how long, and so far I've barely put a dent in the discoloration or
the caked-on dirt.
