Liquid ammonia should depolymerize most acrylic resins.
If you subscribe to this group you're not allowed to throw anything out!
As Serge said, ammonia should work fine. If it's not acrylic you'll need to employ methanol, turpentine, laquer thinner, or acetone ( in that order. ) If that doesn't work, send it back to Testors for replacement.
Throw it away and hell you'll pay, better hang on to it-be worth money some day!

Exactly! The program and technology for repairs are right around the corner!

What a shame, the disks being 5 1/4" and all. ;-)

I'm so exhausted from all the fun I had at the Nats I was just too lazy to type the full denomination... 8^) Cheers,

dem wize guyz is everywhere.
did you got to any museums?
Well, the Pima Air & Space tour. After the Nats I went to Taliesen West, although hot it was edifying. Frank Loyd Wright was quite the visionary but could of wound up a carney huckster. I tried to go to the zoo but it was too hot for long walks outside; my Northcoast body doesn't like anything over 65. I spent the last few days carousing and gallavanting. Great fun but I'm glad to be back among my crap! Cheers,
