I bought some Goo Gone yesterday and spent two hours trying to get the
residue off. Some of it loosened up and could be rubbed off, but there
remains a layer that acts almost like it has become one with the plastic.
Other suggestions that have been received include lighter fluid or
Coleman stove fuel, and WD40.
WD40 is water-based so I'll try it next and see how that goes.
I'll post my results later.
Thanks to all who sent me suggestions.

Jim - you might consider "Goo Gone" - does a great job with left over adhesive
residue. Have never seen it discolor a plastic....but caveat emptor! You can get this
stuff just about anywhere.

I recently acquired an SPR-4 and want to reconfigure the crystal arrangement.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to clean off the adhesive residue
left behind by 30-40 year-old stickers removed from the Frequency Selector Dial?
I am reluctant to try anything stronger than Dawn and warm water (which sort of
works) for fear of damaging the dial. I know Windex will loosen the sticky
stuff and makes it much easier to remove, but it contains ammonia which can
damage and/or discolor some plastics.
Ideas?
