ZX81/TS1000 Rubber Feet

Post by msansom »

Two questions:

1.) Does anyone know what will get the adhesive from the rubber feet off the plastic case without harming the case?

2.) Does anyone have a source for replacement feet?
I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition.

I removed rest of the glue with a screw driver - scratched it off.
I am not a collector - so no problem for me.
Anyway - you won't see any scratches when the foot is replaced. ;)

After pulling off and scraping the old foot off, try IPA solvent cleaner.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :!:

In a pinch, WD40 works too.
