Hello James, nice talking to you !  

 JB> I have to rejuvenate some of those carbon impregnated latex-rubber
 JB> type push buttons.

        I have had some very good results with the Canadian Tire paint
   that is used on the rear window defroster traces. It is conductive
   and should do you good too. My use of it was in repairing a trace
   on a mylar film for a keyboard, in a Thinkpad of yore. I fancy that
   you should have the same result in your zapper.

        Your suggestion of just washing it in HýO first is also
   valuable. Try it first, it is free.
     
       
   Getting these PW locked HDs fixed
            should be done soon. Thanks Dennis !
