Yep...Radio Shack RG8X does this...I've thrown a lot of it away, as it is
impossible to solder once tarnished.

Thanks for all the replies.
Here is a bit more information.
Cable is labeled CZ connector and cable micro 8U. It was bought a Dayton
many years ago. It is used around the shack for jumpers.
The "sticky stuff" is most likely plasticizer. It has not caused the
center dielectric to change that I can tell. It is however a pain because
I can not get it clean enough to get a good solder.
Since there seems to be no black, I am guessing it is not "normal"
contamination. It may have caused issues with the cable, but I will have
to figure a way to test it. Ideas on testing solicited.
For testing, I have an MFJ antenna analyzer, Transmitters, watt meter, DVM
and freq counter. Not the best selection of test equipment, but along
with a R10 receiver, normally enough to get me by. I am thinking of
testing power loss on 10 meters as a potential test of the coax?
73,
Ron
