I found recently a Boom on eBay that was basically almost for free and was sold "for parts". I took pity of the poor thing and decided to give it a try :)
Luckily, it was only cosmetic and I'm happy with the results, following @chill and @JoeMuc2009 advices, I was able to bring it back to a decent shape. The spots on the front panel were cause by some aggressive chemical that went deep and/or remove color, it was not just dirt so getting the translucid part back and the panel black was a challenge. So, just a message for everybody owing a Boom with a sticky front, the fix using this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000LNN11G/ restore them absolutely perfectly. You don't need to remove the existing coating at all. Just extract the front panel and separate pannel, know and rubber keyboard and keys. Put eveything in water @70C with a bit of dish soap for 10 min, gentle brush, rince & dry very well. That remove stickiness for a bit then spray them quickly, including knon, keys and front plate. They will be brand new. 32138321393214132140 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: IMG_5987.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32141| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ LMS 7.9 on Pi 3B+ & Odroid-C2 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB3.
