I rescue a lot of kit -- not all of it being \"electronics\".
Almost all of it is \"adorned\" with stickers, labels, asset
tags, \"markings\", etc.
My first order of business is always to clean the item up;
make it look like it\'s been well cared for (instead of
treated as a catchall for \"tags\"). Peel stickers off,
erase markings, etc.
I have a go-to list of solvents/cleaning agents that I apply,
in order of increasing aggressiveness. E.g., acetone risks
more damage to an item than alcohol would.
One of my \"last resorts\" is a product called \"Totally Awesome\".
Nasty on the eyes and skin. And, it will take the patina
off of certain plastics. *But*, it removes stuff that many
of the seemingly more aggressive solvents won\'t!
And, it\'s reasonably cheap (buy it at the dollar store).
FWIW
