[NTLK] Remove the sticky skin of a 2000

[Fritz Toch]

Ages ago, someone in Japan made a clear 2100 case. From what I could determine they actually made a mold and cast it in clear plastic. If we could only find that person and make some new cases in whatever colors. I don’t think there’s a better solution. The original cases’ plastics are denaturing or separating.
