Boom restoration

[philippe_44]

I found recently a Boom on eBay that was basically almost for free and was sold "for parts". I took pity of the poor thing and decided to give it a try

Luckily, it was only cosmetic and I'm happy with the results, following @chill and @JoeMuc2009 advices, I was able to bring it back to a decent shape. The spots on the front panel were cause by some aggressive chemical that went deep and/or remove color, it was not just dirt so getting the translucent part back and the panel black was a challenge.

So, just a message for everybody owing a Boom with a sticky front panel, the fix using this https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000LNN11G/ restores them absolutely perfectly. You don't need to remove the existing rubber coating at all. Just extract the front panel and separate panel, knob, rubber/flex keyboard and keys. Put everything in water @70C with a bit of dish soap for 10 min, gentle brush, rince & dry very well. That remove stickiness for a bit then spray them quickly, including knob, keys and front plate (protect translucent part, no other item needs to be protected). They will be brand new.

If you look at this one for example https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Logitech-Squ...o/254775379621, it looks ugly but I'm now 100% confident that it could be restored to a perfectly smooth and visually flawless device :-)
