Styrofoam and Black Wrinkle Paint Do Not Mix


Power supply cover, before Goo Gone
The attacker

Turned out to be quite ineffective against styrofoam

Generally this does a great job on old radios.  Not so on styrofoam.
The transceiver is on the left after it was attacked with 3 Scrubbing Bubles soaking and a soaking in TSP.  All-in-all it was soaking at least 2 hours.
Result of GooGone some brushing and rubbing with a cloth.  The smooted wrinkles can still be seen where the peanuts were.  Who knows how long these components were in storage.  I may give all three units a repaint to make them look alike.
