Believe it or not, WD-40 also works very well, however requires a 2 step 
process to use it.  WD-40, I have found, is safe on plastics.  I've sprayed 
WD-40 on a paper towel and cleaned the item.  After the cleaning is done 
then I would use isopropyl alcohol to clean off the WD-40.  Hasn't failed 
me yet.

I agree with the other gentleman, GOO-GONE is the best. Then clean the
face with a plastic cleaner or something that I use on all my classics
to beautify and clean the front panel knobs and all), PLEDGE
WOOD&GLASS.
Good luck.

Hi,
Just got a model 1G-72 Heath Audio Generator that is in great shape
both
Electrically and Mechanically with one exception, there is  old Scotch
or
Cellophane on the meter face.
I am at a loss as to how to get the tape off with out scratching or
using a
safe solvent or chemical  will loosen the tape without damaging the
meter
face any further.
I would appreciate any idea's.
Thanks,   jim heath/w8ngo
