Sticky radios! - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Some of the older ham radio transceivers and also scanners were housed in a rubberised case. With time this case perishes and becomes sticky while still quite usable. Has anyone found a way to get rid of this stickiness without ruining the radio?

Regards
