[Coco] OT EBay stuff ...

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Yes, I've noticed a lot of CoCo gear that I've gotten off of eBay has  
the smell and the stain of tobacco.  I realize that some CoCo cases  
yellow because of sunlight exposure, but others yellow because of the  
tar residue that clings to the machine after spending years in a room  
with an owner who smokes.

Does anyone have a good remedy to clean off the tar?
