[NTLK] Remove the sticky skin of a 2000

["Piotrowski Paweł (Newton)"]

I think that stage is the most problematic stage :)

Maybe a good idea would be to make a fundraising for this purpose and pay someone for preparing a 3D model. Then order mold for casting to produce Newton cases in couple colours.

What do you think?


Cheers,
Pawel

If we could only find that person and make some new cases in whatever colors. I don’t think there’s a better solution. The original cases’ plastics are denaturing or separating.
