Through some good fortune, I've recently come into three Sparcstation 2
machines - all with Weitek Powerups :-)
My question though, is about the feet. On all three of them, it looks
like at one point the glue softened, the feet "slid" around, and now the
glue is hardened again.
The feel are all kitty-wampus, not lined up with the cases at all any more.
Considering how solid they seem to be attached now, what might have
happened? Could it have been heat? Pressure from heavy monitor? Both
combined? Anyway, the question is whether anyone has any ideas on how to
fix this. Seems like my two options are gently using a heat gun and see
if that loosens things up, or else I can carefully try some solvents and
see if I can remove and then re-glue the feet onto the case.
Let me know if you have any insight,
Steve
