I’m sure you’re all wondering what progress I’ve made on getting my Amigas back up and running. Well, I can’t find the power supplies, so that’s not happening at the moment.
Something I’ve found very strange though is that the little rubber feet on the A600 have literally turned to a sticky white liquid, leaving a residue on everything they touch (oh, grow up!).
Take this really rare and expensive “Sandpiper’s Greatest Hits” record for example.
That’s not paint. That’s actual;ly the result of leaving the A600 on it for a small amount of time. So, is this a common thing with these feet? Due to their now squishy and incredibly sticky nature, it’s not possible to remove them cleanly. I don’t think the A1200 is affected.
Anybody know if replacements are available? And the best way to remove them without getting sticky white stuff everywhere? (I knew a lady who wanted a book on double entendres, so I gave her one.)
I just pulled my 600 out of a laptop case and all 4 were like sticky gooey mush. Wow did not expect that to happen. I scrapped it off the best I could for now and put tape over it as I could not get it all off.
Weird because my Amiga 500’s rubber feet are ok. And the 500 is older.
Yeah, I’m guessing the feet on the 500/1200 came from different manufacturers – my A1200 was also unaffected by this. Very odd!
